Imagine writing code where errors fix themselves, functions appear with a single prompt, and repetitive tasks disappear instantly. AI-powered tools like Oracle’s AI Companion and GitHub Copilot are making this a reality. These smart assistants help developers write better code faster, allowing them to focus on creativity instead of syntax and debugging.
According to a GitHub report, developers using Copilot are able to complete tasks 55% faster.

The Challenge for Beginners
While AI is a game-changer for experienced developers, it can be discouraging for beginners. A 2023 survey found that 42% of new programmers feel AI tools reduce their motivation to learn from scratch. Learning to code involves trial and error, but with AI offering instant solutions, many students feel left behind.
Instead of understanding coding logic, they may start depending too much on AI, making it harder to develop problem-solving skills—an essential part of real-world programming.
The Indian Perspective
In India, where millions of CS students rely on self-learning through online courses, AI tools can be both a blessing and a challenge. While they provide quick solutions, over-reliance on them can weaken a student’s coding foundation, as is becoming more common than ever in recent years as AI is getting better and better with code.

It’s like using a calculator before learning basic math—helpful in the short term but risky in the long run.
With the Indian IT industry projected to reach $350 billion by 2026, developers must ensure they use AI as a learning aid rather than a shortcut.
Finding the Right Balance
AI companions are powerful tools, but developers must use them wisely.
Beginners should focus on understanding concepts first and use AI to improve their learning, not replace it.
