Abstract: GitHub Copilot, developed by GitHub, is a new tool aiding developers with a range of tasks, including the generation of code snippets, documentation assistance, and the formulation of implementation strategies. Comparable AI development tools, such as Tabnine and AWS Code Whisperer, also serve as developmental aids but are utilized to varying and much lesser extents. Our research examines the adoption of GitHub Copilot and similar AI development tools among professional developers and other users using the Stack Overflow Annual Survey. The study reveals notable age-related disparities in tool usage, with younger individuals showing a markedly higher propensity to employ these technologies compared to older users. Additional significant insights include variations in usage based on the type of developer, professional status, and the influence of user attitudes towards AI on the adoption of GitHub Copilot among developers.
