The University of Washington’s Paul G. Allen School of Computer Science & Engineering is overhauling its approach to computer science education as AI reshapes the tech industry. Director Magdalena Balazins, the school’s director, has declared that ‘coding, or the translation of a precise design into software instructions, is dead’ because AI can now handle that work. This shift has sparked debate among educators and industry professionals about the evolving role of coders in a world increasingly dominated by artificial intelligence.
