Start with small outcomes, iterate on failures, and treat generated code as something to test rather than trust." talk_url: "https://talks.s-anand.net/2025-01-18-how-to-use-ai-to-generate-code/" --- I conducted a session on Sat, 18 Jan 2025 at [The Hindu webinar](https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/the-hindu-to-host-webinar-on-the-use-of-artificial-intelligence-in-education/article68769905.ece) - Remote. **Summary**: AI can generate useful software from plain-language instructions. Start with small outcomes, iterate on failures, and treat generated code as something to test rather than trust.
