Abstract

The article discusses the increasing use of generative artificial intelligence to help modernize aging computer systems, particularly those running on outdated languages like COBOL. Companies and governments worldwide are turning to AI tools like ChatGPT and Github CoPilot to streamline the process of maintaining and upgrading legacy systems. While AI can provide significant time and cost savings, human oversight remains crucial to prevent potential risks like "hallucinations" in AI models. The article highlights the importance of addressing aging software infrastructure to free up resources for innovation and attract top engineering talent. [Extracted from the article]
