However, code-generating services like CodeWhisperer have sparked controversy due to potential copyright issues, as they are often trained on copyrighted or restrictively licensed code. Amazon has attempted to address this by including a feature in CodeWhisperer that highlights and optionally filters the license associated with functions it suggests. Amazon also assures that it won’t use any customer-specific customizations for future CodeWhisperer model training and won't store or log customer content when handling requests from a developer’s IDE.
Key takeaways:
- Amazon has launched a new enterprise plan for CodeWhisperer, its AI-powered service to generate and suggest code, called CodeWhisperer Enterprise Tier.
- This new plan allows a company to integrate their internal codebases and resources to have CodeWhisperer provide custom recommendations to developer teams.
- CodeWhisperer Enterprise Tier can connect to a private code repository, learn the repository, and adjust its suggestions accordingly.
- Amazon has a feature in CodeWhisperer that highlights and optionally filters the license associated with functions it suggests, and it won't use any customer-specific customizations for future CodeWhisperer model training.
