Kevin Scott, Microsoft's CTO, predicts that by 2028, 95% of programming code will be generated by AI. Despite this significant shift, he insists that human creativity and decision-making will continue to play a vital role in programming. Reflecting on his career, he likened today's changes to historical shifts in programming languages, emphasizing that while AI will modify coding practices, it will not replace the human element essential for effective software development. As AI tools evolve, they will help smaller teams manage larger projects, democratizing coding further and changing the industry's landscape.
Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott expects the next half-decade to see more AI-generated code than ever - but that doesn't mean human beings will be cut out of the programming process.
Scott emphasized that while '95% is going to be AI-generated,' the human aspect of software engineering will remain crucial, with creativity and decision-making still in human hands.
He reflected on a historical shift in programming, comparing AI's rise to the transition from Assembly language to high-level coding, and how such changes are often met with skepticism.
Scott argues that AI tools will empower smaller teams to tackle larger projects, ultimately transforming the software development landscape.
