Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella revealed that a significant portion of the company's new code is being written by artificial intelligence. Nadella stated at Meta's LlamaCon conference that approximately 20% to 30% of Microsoft's code is now generated by AI. This marks a significant shift in software development practices, with AI tools becoming increasingly integrated into the coding process. He also noted the increased usage of AI agents for code reviews, highlighting AI's role in enhancing efficiency and productivity within the company's software engineering workflows.

This trend isn't exclusive to Microsoft. Google CEO Sundar Pichai has also indicated that a substantial percentage of Google's new code is being written by AI, exceeding 30%. Meta, under the leadership of Mark Zuckerberg, is also aggressively pursuing AI-driven software development, with plans to have AI handle half of its software development within the next year. These developments signify a broader industry movement towards leveraging AI to automate and augment coding tasks, transforming how software is created.

The rise of AI in code development and review has significant implications for software engineers. While some experts, like Microsoft CTO Kevin Scott, predict that AI could write as much as 95% of code within the next five years, others view it as an opportunity to enhance productivity and focus on more complex, creative tasks. The transition to AI-assisted coding requires software engineers to adapt and learn how to effectively collaborate with AI tools. These technologies, like Microsoft's Copilot, powered by OpenAI's ChatGPT, are increasingly vital for businesses aiming to drive innovation and efficiency through AI-driven solutions.

Meta has launched its first dedicated AI application, directly challenging ChatGPT in the burgeoning AI assistant market. The Meta AI app, built on the Llama 4 large language model (LLM), aims to offer users a more personalized AI experience. The application is designed to learn user preferences, remember context from previous interactions, and provide seamless voice-based conversations, setting it apart from competitors. This move is a significant step in Meta's strategy to establish itself as a major player in the AI landscape, offering a direct path to its generative AI models.

The new Meta AI app features a 'Discover' feed, a social component allowing users to explore how others are utilizing AI and share their own AI-generated creations. The app also replaces Meta View as the companion application for Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses, enabling a fluid experience across glasses, mobile, and desktop platforms. Users will be able to initiate conversations on one device and continue them seamlessly on another. To use the application, a Meta products account is required, though users can sign in with their existing Facebook or Instagram profiles.

CEO Mark Zuckerberg emphasized that the app is designed to be a user’s personal AI, highlighting the ability to engage in voice conversations. The app begins with basic information about a user's interests, evolving over time to incorporate more detailed knowledge about the user and their network. The launch of the Meta AI app comes as other companies are also developing their AI models, seeking to demonstrate the power and flexibility of its in-house Llama 4 models to both consumers and third-party software developers.
