AI takes part in coding competition

DeepMind is one of the major AI-research centers of Alphabet. It's more widely known for developing AI capable of beating even Go-champions. Now it presents AlphaCode, which takes part in coding competitions .

It scores within the top 54 percent of human coders. The research will lead to an AI which helps human coders and non-coders. Many companies work on similar applications.

**Boundaries** between coders and non-coders may shift as a result. Also, what a coding job implies for a human may change over time as a result of this development.
