"The second annual AI Dev, a summit on all things AI and software hosted by Andrew Ng's DeepLearning.ai, came to New York on Friday. In several panels and an interview with ZDNET, the Google Brain founder had advice to give about the future of the field. AI has rapidly become a reliable coding assistant for many developers -- so much so that many are wondering about the future of the entire profession."
"Entry-level coding jobs are dwindling for recent grads as teams offload junior tasks to AI assistants; at the same time, experts cite the real limitations of these tools as proof that engineers will never actually become obsolete. Also: Google's Antigravity puts coding productivity before AI hype - and the result is astonishing Here's what Ng had to say about how to navigate this uncertain future, why everyone should learn to code, and how governance should really be done."
The AI Dev summit in New York showcased discussions about AI-assisted coding, workforce impacts, and governance. AI coding tools have become reliable assistants that lower the bar to entry and allow teams to offload junior tasks. Entry-level coding jobs are diminishing while tool limitations suggest experienced engineers remain necessary. One recommended outcome is encouraging everyone to learn basic coding and to understand how to instruct AI, comparable to knowing a little math. Important future skills include translating intent into precise computer instructions and understanding syntax. Effective governance and thoughtful deployment are needed to navigate uncertain effects on careers and productivity.
