### AI overview

A U.S. Air Force cadet with no coding experience used generative AI chatbots and a process called vibe-coding to develop a military application. The project examined whether nontechnical service members could create useful software for military problems.

### Source excerpt

A USAF cadet and a Lincoln Laboratory researcher found AI chatbots can help nontechnical service members produce viable software applications for their unique problems.
