Recently, with the rapid development of AI, many professions have started to experience anxiety. Especially programmers are worried that artificial intelligence will replace them. However, Google’s CEO Sundar Pichai looks at these concerns from a very different perspective. Here are the details…
Google CEO Sundar Pichai: ‘AI won’t replace programmers, it will make more people programmers’
In his speech at Carnegie Mellon University, Pichai said that instead of taking away programmers’ jobs, artificial intelligence will make more people programmers and programming will become more accessible to everyone.
According to the CEO, AI will be a tool that makes the work of existing programmers easier. In particular, it will speed up repetitive, time-consuming coding processes, allowing programmers to focus on more creative and complex tasks. Pichai even describes this as “AI empowering programmers”.
Emphasizing that artificial intelligence will make writing code easier for everyone, the CEO said that thanks to natural language processing technologies, people will be able to write code in a more intuitive way without having to learn complex programming languages.
In other words, in the future, even people with no programming knowledge will be able to develop software thanks to artificial intelligence. Pichai also stated that artificial intelligence will empower not only programmers but also many different professions. According to him, AI will make people’s work more efficient in many professions and enable them to take part in more strategic and creative tasks.
At this point, the CEO stated that it is wrong to compare AI with human intelligence, and that it should instead be thought of as an “empowering intelligence”. In short, the CEO’s statements show that AI should be seen as an opportunity, not a threat.
Pichai argues that humans can create more creative, efficient and effective work by collaborating with artificial intelligence, and thinks that this technology will open the door to major changes in the programming world in the future. Do you think artificial intelligence is really an opportunity for programmers or will it reduce the workforce in this field? You can write your opinions in the comments section below.
