OpenAI's president says AI has gone from writing 20% to '80% of your code'

""If you look even over the course of December, we went from these agentic coding tools writing 20% of your code to writing 80% of your code, which means they go from being kind of a sideshow to being the main thing that you're doing.""

""Codex, OpenAI's code-generation platform, has recently evolved from a tool primarily for software engineers to one that can support anyone who's doing work with a computer.""

""That thoughtfulness of not just saying 'oh just blindly use' this or 'we don't want to use this at all.' I think neither extreme is quite right.""

""I think we will be there in three to six months, where AI is writing 90% of the code.""

AI coding tools have significantly advanced, with AI now capable of writing up to 80% of code, according to OpenAI's president. This shift indicates a transition from AI being a supplementary tool to becoming central in coding tasks. Founders are encouraged to embrace these tools as they evolve to support a broader range of users beyond software engineers. Despite this growth, OpenAI maintains that human oversight is essential for all merged code, advocating for a balanced approach to AI-generated code.
