The fear of artificial intelligence taking away jobs from humans might be getting closer than expected. Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has probably added to that fear for employees. Zuckerberg recently shared ambitions for artificial intelligence in the company. The Meta CEO has reportedly said that by 2025, he could see AI evolving to a point where it can substitute mid-level engineers, capable of writing code independently.

A MoneyControl report quoted Zuckerberg as saying, "Probably in 2025, we at Meta, as well as the other companies that are basically working on this, are going to have an AI that can effectively be a sort of midlevel engineer that you have at your company that can write code.”

Mark Zuckerberg recognised that achieving the goal of having artificial intelligence write code would require significant upfront investment and resources. However, he conveyed optimism about Meta’s future, expressing confidence that the company would eventually reach a point where AI systems would handle the creation of all the code used within its applications. This includes both the development of new code and the generation of AI-specific programming, marking a pivotal shift in how Meta approaches software development.

Google Using AI To Improve Coding

Earlier last year, Google CEO Sundar Pichai also shed light on the Alphabet owned company using AI extensively to improve its coding processes. According to a report by the MoneyControl, Pichai said, “We're also using AI internally to improve our coding processes, which is boosting productivity and efficiency.”

He added, “more than a quarter of all new code at Google is generated by AI, then reviewed and accepted by engineers. This helps our engineers do more and move faster.”
