By 2025, Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, intends to use artificial intelligence to partially replace programmers' labor. The company is developing an AI capable of performing the functions of a mid-level engineer, including writing code.

Such changes promise to significantly reduce personnel costs: the salaries of experienced programmers at Meta reach $500,000 a year. But Zuckerberg emphasized that this is not about mass layoffs, but about increasing the efficiency of processes.

The trend is gaining momentum among Silicon Valley giants. Salesforce, for example, has previously said it plans to completely eliminate the hiring of programmers in 2025 thanks to its own AI technology. Klarna, a leading fintech company, recently cut 22% of its team for a similar reason.

Zuckerberg said that in the future, most of the code will be created by AI engineers, allowing people to focus on creative tasks. But experts wonder: where will such automation lead?

Technology giants like Meta are confident that AI will be the backbone of future developments. But this jeopardizes the usual work of many programmers. The mass transition to virtual employees capable of solving complex tasks without human intervention is already changing the rules of the game for the entire industry, including the gaming industry.
