Microsoft Reports 20-30% of Its Code Now AI-Generated
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that between 20% and 30% of code in the company's repositories is now written by AI, with varying success rates across programming languages. The disclosure came during a conversation with Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg at Meta's LlamaCon conference, where Nadella also noted that Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott expects 95% of all code to be AI-generated by 2030.
Skynet Chance (+0.04%): The significant portion of AI-generated code at a major tech company increases the possibility of complex, difficult-to-audit software systems that may contain unexpected behaviors or vulnerabilities. As these systems expand, humans may have decreasing understanding of how their infrastructure actually functions.
Skynet Date (-3 days): AI systems writing substantial portions of their own infrastructure creates a feedback loop that could dramatically accelerate development capabilities. The projection of 95% AI-generated code by 2030 suggests rapid movement toward systems with increasingly autonomous development capacities.
AGI Progress (+0.08%): AI systems capable of writing significant portions of production code for leading tech companies demonstrate substantial progress in practical reasoning, planning, and domain-specific problem solving. This real-world application shows AI systems increasingly performing complex cognitive tasks previously requiring human expertise.
AGI Date (-4 days): The rapid adoption and success of AI coding tools in production environments at major tech companies will likely accelerate the development cycle of future AI systems. This self-improving loop where AI helps build better AI could substantially compress AGI development timelines.
