Saurabh Misra, founder and CEO of CodeFlash, highlighted the company’s study on AI’s ability to generate performant code at the Infobip Shift Conference in Miami last week. Increasingly, AI is used to write code, Misra said, noting that Microsoft uses AI to write 25% of its code and that 30% of Google’s code is AI-written.
