As Silicon Valley companies compete to roll out powerful AI coding tools, an early measure of success is how widely those systems are being adopted inside their own ranks. And at Google, which has urged employees across the board – from software engineers to non-technical staff – to embrace AI, that push seems to have led to a major productivity leap.
Over three-quarters of Google’s new code is AI-generated, according to the company’s CEO, Sundar Pichai. “We’ve been using AI to generate code internally at Google for a while. Today, 75 per cent of all new code at Google is now AI-generated and approved by engineers, up from 50 per cent last fall,” Pichai wrote in a blog post on Wednesday, April 22.
“We’re now shifting to truly agentic workflows. Our engineers are orchestrating fully autonomous digital task forces, firing off agents, and accomplishing incredible things,” he added.
Sharing an example of how Google employees are “customer zero” of its own AI products, Pichai said that a recent “complex code migration” project was completed by a mixed team of AI agents and human engineers. Notably, the project was completed six times faster than what was possible just a year ago with human engineers alone, as per the chief executive.
