Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has shared that in the next 12 to 18 months, AI will handle most of the coding for Meta’s Llama project. While AI is already good at tasks like autocompleting code, Zuckerberg believes it will soon be able to run tests, detect bugs, and write high-quality code on its own, surpassing even top human developers.
AI Fully Integrated into Meta’s Workflow
Zuckerberg explained that AI is fully integrated into Meta’s toolchain, with the company developing specialized coding and research agents to help with Llama. These AI tools are being created to serve Meta’s specific needs, not as general-purpose developer tools.
AI Taking Over More Coding Tasks
Zuckerberg’s predictions about AI’s role in software development align with comments from other tech leaders. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei recently said AI will generate 90% of the code by the end of 2025, while Google and OpenAI have already seen AI writing a significant portion of their code.
The Future of AI in Software Development
AI is increasingly becoming a key part of the software development process, and its role is expected to grow. As AI tools improve, they may replace many of the tasks human developers currently handle, changing the way software is built in the future.
