AI will complete 90% of the programming work in the next 3 to 6 months

Dario Amodei, CEO of Anthropic, said at a forum on the Foreign Relations Commission that he believes that AI will complete 90% of the programming work in the next three to six months. Amodai mentioned that it is possible for artificial intelligence to implement almost all code writing within 12 months, and this remark has attracted widespread attention.

At that time, Mike Froman, president of the Foreign Relations Committee, asked Amodai's opinion on the best future cases of artificial intelligence. Amodai replied that programming is one of the fastest-growing areas in artificial intelligence, and he believes that in the near future, artificial intelligence will be able to undertake most of the programming tasks. Although this may sound worrying, he also pointed out that programmers still need to clarify the functions they want to implement, the design ideas and decisions of the application.

Amodai said that although the intervention of human programmers will remain necessary in the future, artificial intelligence will gradually take on many of the work of human beings. He encouraged everyone to re-examine the concepts of "usefulness" and "uselessness", believing that human life will still be full of meaning in the future, and the intervention of artificial intelligence will add new possibilities to this.

During his conversation with Amodai, Fromman also asked whether “DeepSeek” could be considered a “Sputnik moment.” Amodai said that the emergence of DeepSeek is not special, it is just a new example of the downward trend in data costs. He stressed that the world in the future where everyone can program is getting closer.

In addition, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also shared his views on future programming in a podcast. He believes that the programming method will change significantly in the next five to ten years. Many people have begun to program in natural language, and traditional encoding methods will gradually be eliminated. Artman quipped that few people nowadays will complete programming tasks by writing code, and the definition and required skills of future programming will be very different from before.

With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the future of programming will usher in an unprecedented change.
