Jeff Dean, Google's chief scientist, at the 'AI Ascent' event, predicted that AI could soon match the skills of a junior software engineer, possibly within the next year. Although AI tools are improving and gaining popularity among programmers, Dean emphasized that AI still needs to learn beyond basic coding. He stated that AI requires a comprehensive understanding of testing, debugging, and other essential tasks common to human engineers, and will acquire these skills through practice and research, similar to human learning.
"Not that far...I will claim that's probably possible in the next year-ish."
"This hypothetical virtual engineer probably needs a better sense of many more things than just writing code in an IDE."
