Directions for using Generative Artificial Intelligence in Introductory Programming

This paper provides a review of the literature on the use of generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) in introductory programming education at universities. The main areas of application of generative artificial intelligence are given: specialized narrow-topic developments, integration into online learning platforms and testing solutions, students working with GenAI without restrictions, guiding systems for the interaction of students with GenAI (without providing solutions), teacher assistance, tools for developing intelligent teaching systems. The paper also contains a review of works that analyze the results achieved and unresolved problems.
