Most outsourced programmers in India will lose their jobs in the next year or two as artificial intelligence makes it possible for software to be developed with fewer people, Stability AI CEO Emad Mostaque said in a call with analysts.
"If you're doing a job in front of a computer, and no one ever sees you, then it's massively impactful, because these models are like really talented grads," Mostaque said.
Not everyone will be affected in the same way, however. In India, "outsourced coders up to level three programmers will be gone in the next year or two, whereas in France, you'll never fire a developer," Mostaque said.
"Why would you have to write code where the computer can write code better?," he said. "But it won't be doing it automatically, it will be AI 'co-pilots,' That means less people are needed for classical programming."
