Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella said on Tuesday that 30% of the company code was now written by artificial intelligence.

“I would perhaps say 20%, 30% of the code that is within our references today and some of our projects are probably all written by software,” said Nadella during a conversation before a live audience with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

The pair of CEO was expressed during the inaugural event of Meta Llamacon AI in Menlo Park, California. Nadella added that the amount of code written by AI at Microsoft increases regularly.

Nadella asked Zuckerberg how Meta’s code came from AI. Zuckerberg said that he did not know the exact figure from the top of his head, but he said that Meta was building an AI model which can in turn build future versions of the Llama family of the company’s AI models.

“Our bet is sort of that in the next year … Maybe half of the development will be carried out by AI, as opposed to people, and then it will increase in a way from there,” said Zuckerberg.

Microsoft and Meta Ensemble use tens of thousands of software developers, but these are the last companies to discuss how AI replaces some of the work written by human software developers.

Since the launch of Chatgpt Openai at the end of 2022, people have turned to AI for a certain number of tasks, including customer service, generation of sales fields and the development of software itself.

Google CEO Sundar Pichai in October said that more than 25% of the new code was written by AI. Earlier this month, Shop CEO Tobi Lutke told employees that they should prove that AI cannot do work before asking for more workforce. In the same way, Duolingo CEO Luis von Ahn Monday announced in a memo that the linguistic teaching company gradually turns to AI instead of human entrepreneurs.

Earlier this month, CNBC and other points of sale said that Optai was in talks to acquire Windsurf, a startup with “atmosphere” coding software that spits whole programs with a few words of contribution. The dream is that with machines helping to write code, organizations will be able to produce more and better software.
