Can AI chatbots run a software company without a human touch?

An experiment at Brown University and several Chinese universities demonstrated that a version of ChatGPT can run a hypothetical software company dubbed ‘ChatDev’ with minimal human intervention.

How did it work?

  • The researchers assigned AI workers specific roles. For instance, the AI bots donning the CEO and CTO mantle focused on the designing stage while the 'programmer' and 'art designer' bots worked on the coding stage.

  • The AI bots identified bugs, decided on the programming language, and went about the software development process until completion.

  • 70 assigned tasks were completed in 7 minutes. The entire development cost less than $1 and 86.66% of the generated software systems were "executed flawlessly.”

The study sure sounds promising but also points towards limitations such as potential errors and biases in language models that might affect the creation of software. Still, it does paint an exciting future for the tech world, showing generative AI technologies stepping into the shoes of job-specific roles.
