- Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella
- The meta-PDG Mark Zuckerberg thinks that half of its code will come from AI in one year
- Productivity services are made at the cost of potential vulnerabilities and job losses
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has revealed that almost a third of the company’s code is now written by AI.
Addressing a Tech Titan colleague, the meta-PDG Mark Zuckerberg, during the very first “innovation” conference of the company, Llamacon, Nadella added that the figure was up, perhaps up to 40%, noting that AI is the most effective in writing a new code rather than modifying the old code.
The news comes only a few months after the CEO of Alphabet, Sundar Pichai, revealed similar figures, saying that more than a quarter of the Google code is now generated by AI.

“I might say that 20 to 30% of the code that is within our references today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,” confirmed Nadella.
Despite the question of the question, when this same question was asked in Zuckerberg, he said that he did not “have this number from the top of [his] head.”
However, Meta’s leader has offered a prospect for using the AI by the company: “Our bet is somehow during the next year … Perhaps half of the development will be carried out by AI as opposed to people, and this will increase from there.”
Neither Nadella nor Zuckerberg discussed potential job losses due to the Coding of AI, but there was a brief discussion on the evolution of roles.
“I tend to think that … each engineer, if it effectively ends up being more an advance in technology as in the future which has its own small army of AI agents with which they work,” said Meta CEO.
Responding to the discussion on the Proton Mail X account, the Swiss office software company focused on Proton confidentiality said: “It is not the flexion you think it is, Microsoft.”
It is difficult to know if it was an excavation in potential vulnerabilities that could be introduced via an AI code, the effects it can have on the workforce or something else.
