🚀 AI Is Coming for Your Keyboard: Are We Ready?

"We believe that in the next year, the vast majority of programmers will be replaced by AI. Within three to five years, we’ll see AGI systems as smart as the best humans. And in six years, artificial superintelligence smarter than all of us combined. This is happening fast, and society isn’t ready." — Eric Schmidt, former CEO of Google

Eric Schmidt’s recent statement might sound like something out of a sci-fi movie, but it's rapidly becoming our reality. The pace of AI development has shifted from incremental to exponential — and with it, the foundations of our work, our roles, and perhaps even our identities are being challenged.

🧠 What Happens When AI Codes Better Than Us?

AI tools like GitHub Copilot, GPT-4, and Claude are already writing, debugging, and optimizing code. Many developers now act more like supervisors than creators, guiding AI rather than writing from scratch. If the trend continues, the traditional role of a programmer may no longer exist — at least not as we know it.

This isn’t just automation. This is a fundamental reshaping of who builds the future.

🌍 Beyond Programming: Enter AGI and ASI

Schmidt mentions AGI (Artificial General Intelligence) in 3–5 years — systems that can perform any intellectual task a human can. If true, this changes not just programming, but healthcare, law, education, design — everything.

And then, the big one: Artificial Super Intelligence. Smarter than all of us combined. In six years.

Whether you view this with excitement or anxiety, one thing is certain: the timeline isn’t decades away. It’s years — maybe months.

⏳ The Bigger Question: Are We Ready?

Technologically, we’re racing ahead. But socially, ethically, and politically? We're still crawling. We need urgent conversations about:

• How do we re-skill workforces at scale?
• What does value creation look like in an AI-dominated world?
• How do we ensure AI aligns with human values — and doesn’t overwrite them?

This isn’t a tech issue. It’s a human one. Whether you’re a developer, designer, CEO, student, or policymaker — this future touches you.

Now is the time to think, speak, and act.

How do you see your role evolving in a world with super intelligent AI?
