AI Tools

With AI tools becoming increasingly embedded in the software development workflow, it’s important for interns to use them wisely without compromising their own growth or credibility. Here are the core points from the lesson:

• Interns should embrace AI tools but avoid over-reliance, as teams are assessing their engineering abilities—not the tool’s
• Use of AI must comply with company policies, and interns should always understand and be able to defend the code they submit
• AI is best used for boilerplate and simple tasks, but the intern should remain the core problem solver and decision-maker
