Google CEO Sundar Pichai just revealed that AI now generates more than a quarter of new code for its products, according to a company earnings call transcribed by Ars Technica. In other words, AI tools are already having an absolutely mammoth impact on the development of software. Pichai did say that human programmers oversee the computer-generated code, which is something. The CEO noted that AI coding helps with "boosting productivity and efficiency," ensuring that engineers "do more and move faster." According to Stack Overflow's 2024 Developer Survey, over 75 percent of respondents are already using or are "planning to use" AI tools to assist with software development.
