Today, with the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the field of programming is facing an unprecedented change. Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei made a remarkable view at a forum on the Relations committee, predicting that AI will be able to complete 90% of the programming work in the next three to six months. This prediction not only sparked widespread discussion in the technology community, but also painted a completely new picture of the future of the programming industry.
Amodai further pointed out that with the continuous advancement of technology, it is possible for artificial intelligence to implement almost all code writing within 12 months. Although shocking, this remark also reveals the huge potential of artificial intelligence in the field of programming. However, Amodai stressed that although artificial intelligence will undertake most of the programming tasks, the role of human programmers is still indispensable. They need to clarify functional requirements, design application ideas, and make key decisions. This collaboration model between humans and machines will become the mainstream in the future programming field.
In a conversation with Mike Froman, president of the Foreign Relations Committee, Amodai elaborated on his views on the future of artificial intelligence. He believes that programming is one of the fastest-driving areas in artificial intelligence, and future artificial intelligence will be able to undertake many repetitive tasks for human beings. Nevertheless, Amodai encouraged people to re-examine the concepts of "usefulness" and "uselessness", believing that the intervention of artificial intelligence will add new possibilities to human life rather than replace human value.
When asked whether “DeepSeek” could be regarded as 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 further emphasized that in the future, the world where everyone can program is getting closer, and artificial intelligence will make programming more popular and convenient.
Meanwhile, OpenAI CEO Sam Altman also shared his insights on future programming in a podcast. Artman believes that the way programming will change significantly in the next five to ten years. Many people have begun to program in natural language, and traditional coding methods will gradually be eliminated. Altman humorously stated that few people now complete programming tasks by writing code, and the definition and required skills of future programming will be completely different from before.
With the rapid development of artificial intelligence technology, the future of programming will usher in an unprecedented change. Amodai and Artman's predictions not only reveal the huge potential of artificial intelligence in the field of programming, but also point out the future direction for programmers. Although artificial intelligence will undertake more programming tasks, the creativity and decision-making ability of human programmers are still indispensable. Future programming will pay more attention to the collaboration between humans and machines, and technological advancements will bring more possibilities to mankind.
Key points:
Amodai expects that artificial intelligence will complete 90% of the programming work in the next 3-6 months.
Human programmers still need to participate in design and decision-making, and artificial intelligence will undertake repetitive tasks.
In the future, programming will gradually shift to natural languages, changing programming methods and skills requirements.
