Eric Schmidt believes that AI models will quickly evolve to perform a greater number of highly specialized tasks that only humans can currently complete
NEW YORK, April 17. /TASS/. Artificial intelligence (AI) could replace most programmers within the next year, US billionaire and former Google CEO Eric Schmidt stated.
"We believe as an industry that in the next one year, the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmers," Schmidt said at the AI+ Biotechnology Summit.
The expert believes that AI models will quickly evolve to perform a greater number of highly specialized tasks that only humans can currently complete. Schmidt also expects AI programs to be capable of solving complex math problems that top graduates are working on within the next year. By the 2027, AI systems will start to self-improve and independently adjust and enhance the code they develop in their research programs, the ex-Google CEO emphasized.
Schmidt also foresees that AI models will be able to compete with the world’s best physicists, mathematicians, writers, and artists by 2028-2030. Given the speed of technological advancements, AI will reach the stage of "artificial superintelligence" by 2031, when the best programs will finally surpass human capabilities, function autonomously, and self-improve without human input, Schmidt said.
In this context, the expert stressed that the world still lacks a unified framework for regulating and managing AI technologies, which poses significant risks to humanity.
MDs are kaput too.
Is most coding within reasonable abilities of AI?
Any Comp Sci grads from Michigan Tech able to weigh in? Go Huskies!
Learn to…uh, never mind
We’ve aborted away 1/3rd of American babies since Roe v Wade. Skynet would have to work really hard to top that.
AI will be a big help in helping Bobby Kennedy, Jr. figure out autism. AI might enslave our grandchildren but hopefully they’ll be autism free slaves.
Learn to dig ditches.
My experience differs. I’m not even able to squeeze decent automated unit test code out of a LLM codegen tool.
Learn to mine coal and drill for oil.
“MDs are kaput too.”
As are accountants, lawyers, architects, most engineers, airline pilots, taxi drivers and many military personnel.
I can foresee a nearly fully automated submarine for instance
Go to https://chatgpt.com/, type in: "Make a procedure in C# to prove the Pythagorean Theorem". The results are:
using System;
class PythagoreanTheorem
{
static void Main()
{
// Input values
double a = 3;
double b = 4;
double c = 5;
// Call the method to verify the theorem
bool result = ProvePythagoreanTheorem(a, b, c);
// Display result
if (result)
{
Console.WriteLine($"The triangle with sides a={a}, b={b}, and c={c} satisfies the Pythagorean Theorem.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine($"The triangle with sides a={a}, b={b}, and c={c} does NOT satisfy the Pythagorean Theorem.");
}
}
static bool ProvePythagoreanTheorem(double a, double b, double c)
{
// Calculate left-hand side (a^2 + b^2)
double leftSide = Math.Pow(a, 2) + Math.Pow(b, 2);
// Calculate right-hand side (c^2)
double rightSide = Math.Pow(c, 2);
// Allow for small floating-point error
double tolerance = 0.0001;
// Compare both sides
return Math.Abs(leftSide - rightSide) < tolerance;
}
}

I build tools using Excel and VBA, sometimes SQL. Low-tech, but powerful and cost effective. AI can write about 80% of the code, but it gets stuck on a lot of things. A lot more testing required. But it is amazingly fast.
Nah. AI code isn’t that good. And they’re still willing to make up API calls that don’t exist. They might get rid of a lot of the base work, but you’ll still need a developer to make the code actually work. They might replace the Indians, most of their code sucks anyway.

Trades are the way to go. The wealthiest people I know are plumbers who started their own company.
Carpenter, plumber, HVAC, welder, electrician, landscaper...
Learn a trade is the way to go.
No. When I forget how to write a small piece of code like a particular database query or rewrite a function from one language into a less familar language, it’s pretty good at whipping it together instantly, saving me a few minutes. Sometimes it backfires though and introduces a subtle error that has to be tracked down. Whole programs? No.
They like to think so but IA is still not a human and it takes someone with skill to give the AI the right instructions and to evaluate and to test and fix the AI output. With AI expectations of results will go up and those higher expectations will drive the need for more programmers. Everyone in business wants to get rid of programmers due to their high pay and they have been predicting the end of programmers for a while in an act of wishful thinking.
“”We believe as an industry that in the next one year, the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI programmers,” Schmidt said at the AI+ Biotechnology Summit.”
AI will replace many jobs. I think we see the trend. But I am not sure about his timing prediction ...
