The role AI plays in coding continues to expand across the tech industry.

Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that AI now writes between 20% and 30% of the company’s internal code.

He shared this figure during a fireside conversation with Meta CEO at the recent LlamaCon conference. Nadella added that AI-generated output varies by programming language.

Despite these bold claims, there’s still no industry-wide standard for measuring AI-written code. The ambiguity suggests such figures should be interpreted cautiously. Nevertheless, the trend highlights the growing impact of generative AI on software development.
