Will artificial intelligence overtake coding? The head of Google Research expresses dissent.

In the context of swift developments in artificial intelligence (AI), Yossi Matias, Head of Research and Vice President at Google, has emphasised the enduring significance of coding as an essential ability.

Despite the abundance of AI tools in coding and development, Matias asserts that human coders are indispensable, especially in comprehending the principles of programming.

In a recent interview with Business Insider, Matias elucidated AI’s function in the technology sector, underscoring that, although transformational, the technology is not expected to supplant human developers.

The fundamental concept of mastering essential subjects continues to hold significant importance. He asserted that everyone ought to acquire coding skills, emphasising its significance in the contemporary technological environment.

Matias’s comments arise as several individuals in the technology sector voice apprehensions regarding AI’s capacity to automate programming activities. Instruments such as GitHub Copilot have prompted conjecture over AI’s influence on conventional programming positions, with some asserting that these tools can save coding time by up to 70 percent. Matias contended that AI is now inadequate for managing the intricacies of the coding process entirely, particularly due to the necessity of human intuition and oversight to enhance AI-generated code.

“AI can aid in specific tasks, particularly at the junior level, but it has not yet assumed control of the entire coding process,” Matias elucidated. He observed that although AI can streamline repetitive processes, it is devoid of the complex decision-making abilities that seasoned programmers provide to software development.

Matias recognised that current trends in the technology sector provide difficulties for junior developers, who may find it challenging to gain the practical expertise required in a field increasingly augmented by AI tools. In response, Google has been endorsing projects to assist young talent, facilitating the connection between coding theory and actual application.

Matias posited that coding, akin to mathematics, is a fundamental ability in the digital era. “Coding resembles fundamental mathematics,” he stated, elucidating that individuals beyond the software sector gain advantages from a core comprehension of programming. The sentiment emphasises his belief that coding is essential not only within

Local body by-elections, including Karachi, have been going on in 18 districts across Sindh.

Voting in Pakistan began at 8:00 AM and will run continuously until 5:00 PM, as reported by the Election Commission of Pakistan. On the ballot this year are 173 candidates from a wide range of political and religious affiliations. A fierce contest is set to unfold between PPP, Jamaat-e-Islami (JI), Tehreek-e-Labbaik Pakistan (TLP), and independent candidates backed by the PTI.

The by-elections in Karachi have been well prepared for in terms of security, with 136 out of 167 polling locations being deemed very sensitive and 26 being deemed sensitive. At each of the vulnerable voting places, eight to twelve police officers have been stationed.

The warning came during a meeting at the Karachi Police Office (KPO) that was chaired by City Police Chief Javed Alam Odho.

There is a possibility of violence between party supporters, according to police sources, in addition to the terror alert. More police have been sent out in an effort to prevent a confrontation.

Authorities should designate all voting booths as “very sensitive” and send Rangers to reduce the likelihood of rigging, according to JI’s Karachi Ameer Monem Zafar.
