20-30% of Microsoft's code is already generating AI - what Satya Nadella said at LlamaCon

What Satya Nadella said

• Percentage of code generation: "Maybe 20-30% of the code that is in our repositories today is written by software" - i.e. AI.
• Programming languages: AI writes more efficiently in Python and worse in C++
• Fully AI projects: Some internal projects are "probably written entirely" by neural networks.
• Growing share of AI: With each iteration, the amount of such code "steadily grows"

Mark Zuckerberg's reaction.

• Meta figures: No exact figures are available, but Meta is developing a model that can independently develop the Llama family.
• Prediction: "Next year, half of development will be done by artificial intelligence, not humans"

Position of other tech leaders

• Sundar Pichai (Google): More than 30% of new Google code is generated by AI (vs. 25% in October 2024).
• Kevin Scott (Microsoft CTO): By 2030, up to 95% of all code will be written by AI; humans will formulate tasks and verify the result.

Impact on the market and developers

1. Accelerate development: AI frees developers from routine tasks and speeds up the creation of boilerplate code.
2. New skills: Demand is shifting to integration and model training rather than manual coding.
3. Security and QA: Risks of bug rewriting and potential vulnerabilities in generated code are emerging.
