Oxford Spin-out Diffblue Raises $22M to Automate Software Development with AI

Diffblue is a spin-out from the University of Oxford that applies artificial intelligence to software development. They've developed a core AI capable of building an exact mathematical model of any code base with a few examples, allowing for deep semantic understanding of a computer program's intent.  Diffblue leverages this AI to automate various software development aspects, initially focusing on three products: automated testing (bug detection and test writing), security (flagging exploitable bugs and generating tests), and refactoring (rewriting outdated code). Their long-term vision is to develop AI capable of writing entire computer programs independently, given desired outcome examples.
