Why Google CEO Sundar Pichai thinks asking ‘how much code AI writes’ is the wrong question

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has said that measuring the percentage of code written by artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a meaningful way to assess the technology’s role in software development, as AI increasingly influences nearly every line of code shipped by the company.

Pichai previously said that AI generated around 25% of Google’s code, a figure that subsequently rose to more than 30%. However, in a recent interview, he indicated that the metric no longer captures the extent to which AI has become integrated into the company’s engineering processes.
