Google CEO Sundar Pichai says AI generates 75% codes at the company: Why this number matters – The Times of India

Google CEO Sundar Pichai has revealed that more than three-quarters of all new code at the company is now generated by Artificial Intelligence (AI). The figure marks a rapid acceleration in Google’s internal transformation, jumping from 50% just six months ago to 75% today, signalling the beginning of the “agentic” era in software engineering. “We’ve been using AI to generate code internally at Google for a while. Today, 75% of all new code at Google is now AI-generated and approved by engineers, up from 50% last fall,” Pichai said in a blog post written as the company is hosting its annual Cloud Next 2026 conference in Las Vegas.According to Pichai, despite the high percentage of AI involvement, human engineers remain the ultimate gatekeepers. “Every line of that code is reviewed and approved by engineers,” Pichai stated, clarifying that AI serves as a high-velocity draft writer while humans maintain the role of quality controllers.
