Dario Amodi, CEO of Eropic, warned at the World Economic Forum’s annual meeting in Davos about the impact of artificial ielligence on the labor market, saying that in six to 12 mohs, artificial ielligence models could do most of the work of software engineers. He emphasized that this developme can fundameally change the curre role of programmers.
Amudi explained that some Eropic engineers are now coding with the help of artificial ielligence models and only undertake the editing and finishing part of the work. He says:
“I have engineers at Eropic who say they don’t write code anymore, the model writes the code, they edit and do the finishing touches.”
His words show that artificial ielligence has become the main software developme tool in Eropic company.
Predicting the future of artificial ielligence for programmers
The CEO of Ahropic also talked about the speed of progress of artificial ielligence in a conversation with the Economist magazine in the presence of Demis Hesabis, the CEO of Google DeepMind. He said:
“I think we’re maybe six to 12 mohs away from AI taking over most or maybe all of the work that software engineers do end-to-end.”
Amodi further poied to parts of this “cycle” that he said are still beyond the power of artificial ielligence. He cited chip manufacturing, hardware production, and the training process of large models as examples that still require physical infrastructure, heavy investme, and specialized manpower. He says it is not yet possible to say with certaiy which sectors will be automated the fastest and at what speed.
The Ahropic CEO’s commes have drawn a wide range of reactions among social media users, most of which indicate that one part of the tech community is skeptical of his prediction, while another sees it as a serious alarm for curre jobs. He had already made a similar claim last year.
