Abstract: Large Language Models (LLMs) have gained significant attention in the software engineering community. Nowadays developers have the possibility to exploit these models through industrial-grade tools providing a handy interface toward LLMs, such as GitHub Copilot. In this talk, I will discuss recent successful applications of LLMs for code generation, showing how they are changing the way in which developers approach coding. Then, I will present open problems in the area of AI-based code generators; this part will cover both issues arising from their usage as well as challenges that the research community working in this area are facing (e.g., related to the empirical evaluation of these tools).
