For coders, AI not a threat but a ladder up the value chain

Aryan Kumar (name changed), a mid-level coder, has no fears of artificial intelligence (AI) taking over his job. “AI is helping coders like me to automate certain tasks. Beyond that, you need a human to verify the results generated for accountability, accuracy and for complex tasks,” he says.

Many data scientists and AI experts echo Aryan’s thoughts. They feel that AI is helping coders enhance their job performance rather than taking over their roles. “AI frees up coders to focus on designing robust architectures, solving complex problems and improving user experiences. Essentially, AI acts as an assistant, enabling coders to achieve more with their time and skills,” Krish Ramineni, CEO Fireflies.ai, told FE.
