Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella has revealed that Artificial Intelligence is playing an increasingly significant role in the company's software development. Speaking at Meta's LlamaCon conference, Nadella stated that AI now writes between 20% and 30% of the code in Microsoft's repositories and projects. This underscores the growing influence of AI in revolutionizing software creation, especially for repetitive and data-heavy tasks, leading to efficiency gains. Nadella mentioned that AI is showing more promise in generating Python code compared to C++, due to Python's simpler syntax and better memory management.

Microsoft's embrace of AI in coding aligns with similar trends observed at other tech giants like Google, where AI is reported to generate over 30% of new code. The use of AI in code generation also brings forth concerns about job displacement for new programmers. Despite these anxieties, industry experts highlight the importance of software developers adapting to and leveraging AI tools, rather than ignoring them. Nadella emphasized that while AI can produce code, senior developer oversight remains critical to ensure the stability and reliability of the production environment.

Beyond its internal use, Microsoft is also making strategic moves to expand its cloud and AI infrastructure in Europe. This commitment to the European market includes pledges to fight for its European customers in U.S. courts if necessary, highlighting the importance of trans-Atlantic ties and digital resilience. Microsoft is dedicated to ensuring open access to its AI and cloud platform across Europe, and will be enhancing its AI Access Principles in the coming months. Furthermore, Microsoft is releasing the 2025 Work Trend Index, designed to help leaders and employees navigate the shifting landscape brought about by AI.
