Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that artificial intelligence (AI) now plays a major role in the company’s software development process, with AI contributing to as much as 30% of the code being written at Microsoft.
During a conversation with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at Meta’s inaugural LlamaCon AI developer event, Nadella revealed that AI is playing an increasingly significant role in code development at Microsoft, with the share continuing to rise steadily.
“I’d say maybe 20%, 30% of the code that is inside of our repos today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,” Nadella stated.
In the conversation, Nadella inquired about the percentage of Meta’s code being generated by AI. Zuckerberg, while unsure of the exact number, explained that Meta is developing an AI model designed to create future versions of its Llama AI family.
“Our bet is sort of that in the next year probably … maybe half the development is going to be done by AI, as opposed to people, and then that will just kind of increase from there,” Zuckerberg stated.
Microsoft and Meta, two tech giants employing tens of thousands of software developers, are the latest to explore the role of AI in replacing certain aspects of human-driven software development. As AI technology advances, more companies in the tech sector are considering the potential of AI bots to reduce costs and streamline operations.
Since the debut of OpenAI’s ChatGPT in late 2022, businesses have increasingly turned to AI for a variety of tasks, from customer service and generating sales pitches to automating software development itself. The growing reliance on AI raises questions about the future of human workers in an industry that has historically depended on their expertise.
While AI can enhance efficiency and reduce costs, it also underscores the importance of maintaining skilled human talent for tasks that demand creativity, critical thinking, and problem-solving.
The ongoing integration of AI in the tech industry is not just a technological change but a cultural one, prompting broader conversations about how companies, employees, and society adapt to this new era. As we look ahead, the evolving relationship between humans and machines will continue to shape the future of work.
