Building the Future Developer: Trends in Open Source, Education...
summary
Recent studies show one human using AI beats a team without it (776 Procter & Gamble participants), and GitHub Copilot users write 12% more code and 24% less project management with larger gains for junior developers and women. Practical takeaways: require contributors to disclose AI in PRs, use AI as a pre-review coach, and maintainers set explicit AI contribution rules. Tool specifics cited: GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT‑4o, Claude Sonnet 4, Scholar AI and DALL·E; an attendee reports Copilot cut five years off their learning curve.
