AI coding tools have rapidly advanced in recent months, says OpenAI’s president<\/a>.<\/p>\n

At a Sequoia Capital talk uploaded Thursday, Greg Brockman said that AI has become more than just a supporting tool for software engineers.<\/p>\n

“If you look even over the course of December, we went from these agentic coding tools writing 20% of your code to writing 80% of your code,” Brockman said. “Which means they go from being kind of a sideshow to being the main thing that you’re doing.”<\/p>\n

Brockman, who cofounded the AI company<\/a> in 2015, said he would advise founders to “lean in” and embrace AI tools because they’re making rapid strides.<\/p>\n

For example, he said, Codex \u2014 OpenAI’s code-generation platform \u2014 has recently evolved from a tool primarily for software engineers to one that can support “anyone who’s doing work with a computer.”<\/p>\n

Still, Brockman said OpenAI ensures that a human is responsible for all code that is merged.<\/p>\n

“That thoughtfulness of not just saying ‘oh just blindly use’ this or ‘we don’t want to use this at all.’ I think neither extreme is quite right,” he said about AI-generated code.<\/p>\n

AI’s rapidly growing role in writing code<\/p>\n

Brockman is part of a group of tech leaders touting AI’s ability to generate a large chunk of a company’s code.<\/p>\n

Last month, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said that 75% of new code created inside the company is now generated by AI and reviewed by human engineers.<\/p>\n

That figure has risen rapidly in recent years, from 25% in 2024<\/a> to 50% last year.<\/p>\n

Meta is looking to make headway in this area as well.<\/p>\n

In March, Business Insider reported that Meta expected 65% of engineers in its creation organization<\/a> \u2014 responsible for building and maintaining core creative experiences \u2014 to write more than 75% of their committed code using AI.<\/p>\n

Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei<\/a> has also predicted how much code AI will generate.<\/p>\n

“I think we will be there in three to six months, where AI is writing 90% of the code. And then, in 12 months, we may be in a world where AI is writing essentially all of the code,” Amodei said at a conference last year.<\/p>\n

In a blog post earlier this year, Amodei wrote: “Because AI is now writing much of the code at Anthropic, it is already substantially accelerating the rate of our progress in building the next generation of AI systems.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"AI coding tools have rapidly advanced in recent months, says OpenAI’s president.
