That number has been notching up in recent years. As of October 2024,<\/a> around a quarter of the company’s code was AI-generated, Google said at the time. Last fall, it said the number had risen to 50%.<\/p>\n The company has been pushing employees<\/a> to use AI both for coding and other tasks. Google CEO Sundar Pichai said in a blog post on Wednesday that the company was shifting to “truly agentic workflows” with its engineers running more autonomous tasks<\/p>\n “Recently, a particularly complex code migration done by agents and engineers working together was completed six times faster than was possible a year ago with engineers alone,” Pichai said.<\/p>\n Google’s engineers are using its Gemini models for generating code, and some have been set specific AI goals that will be factored into performance reviews this year.<\/p>\n Some Google DeepMind employees have been permitted to use Anthropic’s Claude Code in recent months, which has created some tensions<\/a> between employees, Business Insider previously reported.<\/p>\n Have something to share?
