Microsoft and Carnegie Mellon introduced PRAISE, combining senior mentoring with university instruction for early-career developers. Participants test assumptions in real development work and review AI-proposed code and system designs while taking online classes and small-group discussions. Initial coursework covers operational machine learning and AI-assisted software engineering, with secure development and deployment planned later. The initiative responds to concerns that coding automation reduces hands-on learning opportunities. It does not mean the program’s effectiveness has already been demonstrated or that anyone can enroll.
