Beyond lines of code: How AI is redefining the developer’s role

More than 30% of new code at Google is now generated by AI, CEO Sundar Pichai said during Alphabet’s recent Q1 2025 earnings call. The search major is seeing strong momentum in the use of AI-assisted coding across teams, driven by more capable models and the introduction of agentic workflows. At Microsoft, 20%-30% of their code is written by AI and if their CTO, Kevin Scott, is to be believed, this figure will spiral up to 95% by 2030.
