GitHub Copilot: the AI pair programmer for today and tomorrow

The YouTube video features a presentation by Ryan J. Selva, VP of Product at GitHub, on the topic of GitHub Copilot. Selva discusses the journey of GitHub Copilot, its research-led approach, and the impact of large language models on engineering teams. He introduces Accenture as a research partner and invites Dan Shockey from Accenture to share the results of a study conducted with hundreds of developers. The study reveals that GitHub Copilot saved developers time and increased build success rates and code quality. Selva then transitions to discuss the future of GitHub Copilot, emphasizing the importance of customization and extensibility. He explains how developers can bring their own data to expand Copilot's knowledge and how they can build plugins to extend its capabilities. The presentation concludes with a call for collaboration and participation in the GitHub Copilot partner program.
