Harvard CS50 and Artificial Intelligence Update
In Summer 2023 and Fall 2023, Prof. Malan and his team actively tested an AI-powered chatbot, implemented as a virtual rubber duck (a la rubber-duck debugging), developed specifically for CS50. The CS50 Duck (aka CS50.ai) was first deployed to approximately 70 summer students, then to 1,000's of students online, and finally to approximately 500 on-campus students. Prof. Malan will discuss the development of CS50.ai, detailing the challenges faced, solutions proposed, and results achieved.
