Autonomous programming will be explored. Potentially, Copilot is a proof of concept, an early step in that direction. If it is, the corrections made by Copilot users will be applied to the development of the future of unattended programming. Whether it is or not, it's close enough that any legal outcomes experienced by Copilot users will contribute to the definition of liability boundaries relevant to the future of autonomous programming. Copilot users are numerous enough that the incidence of risk is low of ending up under the foot of a copyright owner with the means and will to crush a user, but no one should take such a risk to use a novelty like Copilot in production code.
