Microsoft appears to be adopting AI for its growing development after CEO Satya Nadella announced that 20 to 30 per cent of the code within its repositories was written by AI.
During a fireside chat with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at Meta’s LlamaCon AI conference, Nadella said that 20 to 30 per cent of the code was “written by software” following questioning by Zuckerberg as to how much of Microsoft’s code was written by AI.
When asked the same question, Zuckerberg was unable to give a figure.
Nadella added that Microsoft was increasingly experimenting with AI-generated code, with results being mixed, with the most success being seen with the C++ and Python coding languages.
The news follows Microsoft chief technology officer Kevin Scott saying earlier this month that he expects 95 per cent of all code to be written by AI by 2030.
“It doesn’t mean that the AI is doing the software engineering job … authorship is still going to be human,” he said.
“It creates another layer of abstraction, we go from being an input master (programming languages) to a prompt master (AI orchestrator).”
Scott added that for complex programming, human programmers would still be needed.
“If you are trying to solve the world’s hardest computational problems, you’re going to need computer scientists,” he said.
Google CEO Sundar Pichai said last week that 30 per cent of the company’s code was being written by AI.
Additionally, ChatGPT maker OpenAI announced a trio of new models designed to be exceptional at coding: GPT 4.1, GPT 4.1 Mini, and GPT 4.1 Nano.
“GPT‑4.1 scores 54.6 per cent on SWE-bench Verified, improving by 21.4%abs over GPT‑4o and 26.6%abs over GPT‑4.5 – making it a leading model for coding,” said OpenAI.
