Guwahati : An IIT Guwahati alumnus, Sachit Kuhar, is working at the forefront of artificial intelligence research focused on building systems that can write and maintain software automatically. Over the past few years, he has contributed to advanced AI such as CodeWhisperer, an AI model that helps programmers generate code using simple instructions, and Kiro, a new coding environment where AI assists developers throughout the software development process. These technologies help developers build applications faster, reduce errors, and simplify software maintenance. They are used by hundreds of thousands of software developers worldwide. Sachit says his long-term objective is to enable every person to create code for anything they want, regardless of their technical background.
Recently, he published UT-Fix, a research work presented at OOPSLA in Singapore, a leading international conference in programming languages and software engineering. UT-Fix is an AI system that automatically updates testing code when software changes, removing one of the most time-consuming tasks for developers. “Writing test code will soon be an entirely automated process, with humans acting primarily as verifiers,” Sachit said. “This can save hundreds of thousands of developer hours while improving software reliability.”
Looking ahead, Sachit believes the next major leap will come from applying AI to hardware design itself. “I am most excited about using AI to design AI hardware,” he said. “We are moving toward a future where AI systems write code to design next-generation chips. With the government’s Semiconductor 2.0 initiative, India has a real opportunity to enter this space early and help define how AI-driven chip design evolves globally.” As New Delhi prepares to host the India AI Impact Summit 2026 from February 16 to 20, he believes such national platforms can help shape early priorities for responsible AI innovation and next-generation computing.
