Raspberry Pi warns against reliance on AI for coding, asserting the importance of traditional coding education. In its paper, "Why kids still need to learn to code in the age of AI," the company argues that merely generating code using AI tools like GitHub Copilot undermines the fundamental skills necessary for true programming proficiency. Skills learned during coding help develop critical thinking and problem-solving abilities essential in a tech-driven world. While generative AI can assist, it cannot replace the understanding and judgement that comes from learning to code.
Even in a world where AI can generate code, we will need skilled human programmers who can think critically, solve problems, and make ethical decisions.
Skilled human programmers will continue to have a critical role to play in translating messy real-world problems into a form that can be solved through computation.
