Mark Zuckerberg, CEO of Meta, has announced that the company will begin automating the tasks of mid-level software engineers in 2025 and eventually delegate all programming to artificial intelligence. This move is aimed at reducing costs and replacing engineers who currently receive high salaries.

Zuckerberg believes that using AI will initially be expensive but could become more cost-effective over time. However, research shows that engineers will need to learn new skills to keep up with these advancements, as the automation of coding processes is rapidly expanding.

Despite these developments, researchers emphasize that human creativity and expertise remain essential for developing complex software. Therefore, software engineers must enhance their skills alongside utilizing AI to remain competitive in this industry.
