Developers not going to be replaced by AI yet

Amazon says it is science fantasy

Fears that developers jobs be taken by machines have been dismissed by Amazon big wig Vasi Philomin.

Philomin, who is in charge of AI for Amazon, told IEEE Spectrum that AI is nowhere near replacing human developers.

The best that can be hoped for is that developers may not need to learn the syntax and vocabulary of programming languages, and instead will need to focus on understanding concepts and systems to design programs while the AI can do all the boring, nitty-gritty coding work.

Developers would describe how an application works and a machine-learning model outputs the corresponding code to compile or run.

Peter Schrammel, cofounder of Diffblue, a company focused on automating Java code said that programming jobs will change and engineers will be able to focus more on difficult, creative problems.
