"In March this year, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei claimed AI would be writing 90% of code previously churned out by software developers within just six months. "I think we'll be there in three to six months - where AI is writing 90% of the code," he said, per reports from . "And then in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code.""
"Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella one-upped his Google counterpart in April when he confirmed around 30% of the tech giant's code was written by AI. Nadella's comments came during a fireside chat with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at LlamaCon. "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 told Zuckerberg at the time."
"However, having passed the six-month mark, Amodei's bold prediction hasn't quite come to fruition - but there are clear signs the technology is gaining traction on this front. Naturally, gauging exactly how much code is written by AI across a range of industries would be extremely challenging. Big tech companies have been keen to highlight their own gains on this front, though. In November 2024, Google CEO Sundar Pichai revealed more than 25% of the company's internal source code was AI-generated."
A prediction in March projected AI would produce 90% of software code within six months and nearly all code within a year, but that milestone has not occurred. Adoption of AI coding tools has accelerated among developers and engineers, though exact AI-generated code proportions are hard to measure. Several major technology companies report substantial internal use of AI for code: over 25% of internal source code at one company and about 30% at another. Executive statements about AI replacing engineers and reducing hiring have increased developer anxiety. Overall, AI coding is gaining traction and reshaping development workflows, with rapid growth expected.
