• Abstract: The absence of data protection measures in software applications leads to data breaches, threatening end-user privacy and causing instabilities in organisations that developed those software. Privacy Enhancing Technologies (PETs) emerge as promising safeguards against data breaches. PETs minimise threats to personal data while enabling software to extract valuable insights from them. However, software developers often lack the adequate knowledge and awareness to develop PETs integrated software. This issue is exacerbated by insufficient PETs related learning approaches customised for software developers. Therefore, we propose "PETs-101", a novel game-based learning framework that motivates developers to integrate PETs into software. By doing so, it aims to improve developers' privacy-preserving software development behaviour rather than simply delivering the learning content on PETs. In future, the proposed framework will be empirically investigated and used as a foundation for developing an educational gaming intervention that trains developers to put PETs into practice.

  This research proposal aims to explore innovative solutions by focusing on the deployment of agents powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) The iterative nature of agents, which allows for continuous learning and adaptation, can help surpass common challenges in code generation. We aim to use the iterative feedback in these systems to further fine-tune the LLMs underlying the agents, becoming better aligned to the task of automated software improvement.
