+# Summer of AI for RSE
+
+**The HiRSE ‘Summer of AI for RSE’ is now live!**
+
+Artificial intelligence (AI) has become an integral part of the software development lifecycle and is rapidly transforming the way research software is developed, maintained, and applied across scientific disciplines. It offers powerful tools to improve the efficiency, quality, and scalability of research software and can assist with code generation, testing, documentation, debugging, and performance optimization, allowing developers to focus on higher-level design and scientific innovation. At the same time, machine learning models can automate repetitive tasks, detect patterns in large datasets, optimize computational workflows, and support decision-making. The growing integration of AI into research software also presents new opportunities and responsibilities.  
+
+Ultimately, AI is reshaping research software engineering and understanding how AI can be effectively integrated into research software is therefore becoming an essential skill for research software engineers and an increasingly important factor in advancing modern science. 
+
+In this HiRSE Summer seminar series, multiple community members have come together to provide a series of talks on various aspects of AI in RSE including ethics, training, using AI generated PRs in Open Source projects, RDM tools and more.

+
+**Episodes**
