Mark Williamson, CTO of Undo, joins host
Priyanka Raghavan to discuss AI-assisted debugging. The
conversation is structured around three main objectives:

understanding how AI can serve as a debugging
assistant;

examining AI-powered debugging tools;

exploring whether AI debuggers can independently find and fix
bugs.

Mark highlights how AI can support debugging with its ability to
analyze vast amounts of data, narrow down issues, and even
generate tests. From there, the discussion turns to AI debugging
tools, with a particular look at ChatDBG's strengths and
limitations, with a peek at time travel debugging. In the final
segment, they consider several real-world scenarios and evaluate
the feasibility and practicality of AI acting autonomously in
debugging.
