Microsoft says AI now writes nearly a third of its code
The role AI plays in coding continues to expand across the tech industry.
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that AI now writes between 20% and 30% of the company’s internal code.
Nadella’s comments came in response to a question from Zuckerberg, who admitted he didn’t know the figure for Meta. Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai recently reported similar figures, saying AI now generates over 30% of Google’s code.
Despite these bold claims, there’s still no industry-wide standard for measuring AI-written code. The ambiguity suggests such figures should be interpreted cautiously. Nevertheless, the trend highlights the growing impact of generative AI on software development.
