Research agenda to quantify economic impact of code generation models

AI Impact Summary

An initiative to establish a formal research program to quantify the economic impacts of code generation models. The effort will define metrics for developer productivity, total cost of ownership, licensing, and energy use, and produce a framework to compare tooling options across engineering teams. This capability will enable data-driven budgeting, vendor negotiations, and governance for code-generation investments, reducing the risk of overspending or misaligned deployments.
