AI will replace programmers in 2025 — Zuckerberg's forecast
Mark Zuckerberg, the founder of Meta, shared a bold prediction. According to him, in 2025, artificial intelligence (AI) can reach mid-level engineering in programming.
Tribune writes about it.
Can artificial intelligence replace engineers?
During one of the tech conferences, Zuckerberg said that in the coming years, the neural network will be able to do a significant amount of coding that is currently done by humans. When that happens, the technology will be able to take software development projects from concept to implementation on its own.
According to Zuckerberg, the future may bring even more revolutionary changes. The next step is to create artificial intelligence that can develop its own programming skills. This raises the question of how humanity will coexist with such advanced technologies, and what role humans will play in a world where AI is able to manage complex engineering projects.
A joke at the conference about the possible emergence of "AI unions", while exaggerated, points to the importance of discussing the integration of AI into the workforce.
Zuckerberg's statements are both exciting and worrisome. The use of AI for programming can significantly accelerate the process of creating technologies, but it also raises questions about the future of employment in the IT sector, ethical aspects, and the preservation of human control over important decisions.
As a reminder, the famous billionaire Elon Musk has expressed the opinion that artificial intelligence will surpass human abilities much earlier than expected. He claims that by the end of 2025, neural networks will be able to surpass the intelligence of any human.
We also wrote that the labor market is rapidly growing in demand for artificial intelligence specialists. Some studies indicate that by 2030, neural networks will automate most processes, which will reduce the number of employees.
