Snap CEO praises AI for writing two-thirds of the company's code but warns fellow tech executives underestimate 'societal pushback' to the tech | Fortune
"I think technology leaders think that folks will just blindly adopt new technology as it comes out, and I think we're going to enter a period of time where there's going to be a huge amount of societal pushback on a lot of the changes that are coming with AI."
"AI is probably the best thing that's ever happened to the company and now writes two-thirds of the company's code."
"A survey of 2,400 knowledge workers found 29% of employees—and 44% of Gen Z workers—admitted to sabotaging their workplace's AI rollout."
"An NBC News poll found that only 26% of registered voters had a positive view of AI, while 46% had a negative view."
Snap launched AI Sponsored Snaps, enabling user interaction with brand AI bots. CEO Evan Spiegel noted potential societal pushback against AI changes. Despite this, Snap has successfully integrated AI, with a billion monthly users and significant growth in subscribers and revenue. A recent poll indicated only 26% of voters view AI positively, with many employees, especially Gen Z, expressing concerns and even sabotaging AI initiatives in their workplaces. Spiegel emphasized the importance of balancing technology adoption with user acceptance.
