75 percent of Google’s new code is generated by artificial intelligence, up from 50 percent in the fall of 2025, and 25 percent in October 2024. That could increase its profitability a lot, by reducing the need for high-paid employees who write code. Last year, the median mid-level Google employee compensation was $331,894.
The Decoder reports that “75 percent of new code at Google is now generated by AI and then reviewed by human developers, the company says. That number has climbed fast: it was 25 percent in October 2024 and 50 percent by fall 2025. In a blog post, Google CEO Sundar Pichai said the company is now shifting to ‘agentic workflows’ where AI systems operate with increasing autonomy.”
“A complex code migration was completed six times faster than a year earlier thanks to collaboration between AI agents and developers. Google’s engineers use the company’s own Gemini models for these tasks. Some employees at Google DeepMind are also allowed to use Anthropic’s Claude Code, because Google hasn’t built a real alternative yet. A dedicated team within Google Deepmind is now working to close the gap with Anthropic on AI coding tools.”
Robots with artificial intelligence are spreading on Japanese farms and robots are being used as waiters in restaurants in Korea.
The nation of Zambia, which is poor and heavily in debt, found new mineral wealth using artificial intelligence.
Artificial intelligence is also being used to generate highly-effective antibodies to fight disease. Doctors overseas are using artificial intelligence to detect cases of breast cancer more effectively.
An artificial intelligence algorithm outperforms radiologists in diagnosing prostate cancer from MRI scans, reports Inside Precision Medicine. It also cuts false positive diagnoses in half, according to a study by researchers at Radboud University Medical Center.
