Are you ready for the future of software development? In this presentation, we'll explore the cutting-edge techniques and historical foundation behind self-programming artificial intelligence (AI). From evolutionary computation to abstract syntax trees and genetic algorithms, you'll learn how computers are gaining the ability to write their own programs. Whether you're a beginner or intermediate level programmer with a basic understanding of IT, this presentation is for you. Don't miss out on the opportunity to learn about program generation techniques like Programming by Example, GitHub Copilot, and ChatGPT. Join us for an enlightening journey into the world of self-programming AI.

Attendees will learn a brief history of program synthesis techniques including evolutionary computation, abstract syntax trees, genetic algorithms, Programming by Example (Microsoft Excel FlashFill), GitHub Copilot (GPT-3), and ChatGPT (GPT-3.5). Intended Audience: beginner/intermediate with basic knowledge of programming and/or IT.

Keywords: machine learning; ChatGPT; GPT-3; machine programming; genetic algorithms; evolution; programming; AI
