In a recent interview, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman emphasized that proficiency in AI tools is the new key skill for tech professionals, akin to traditional coding skills. As AI's capabilities in generating code continue to improve, with other tech leaders like Anthropic's Dario Amodei and Meta's Mark Zuckerberg echoing similar sentiments, Altman predicts that a significant portion (50% or more) of coding tasks is already being automated. He acknowledged potential long-term job market impacts, suggesting software engineers may need to adapt as their roles evolve with advancing AI.
In the near future, mastering AI tools will be essential for tech roles, potentially leading to a reduced need for a large workforce of software engineers.
Sam Altman believes that agentic coding is on the horizon, which could revolutionize software development and further automate code writing.
