In five years, there will be no programmers left, believes Stability AI CEO

"There will be no programmers in five years," believes Emad Mostaque, founder and CEO of Stability AI. In an interview, Mostaque talked about the dominant role that generative AI systems like ChatGPT are already playing in programming. Forty-one percent of the code on GitHub is already AI-generated, he said.

Mostaque is committed to open source with his company and sees open AI as a "much better business model" than closed systems.
