AI Eats Software - And Germany's Dual Tech Crisis
summary
GitHub’s Copilot uses large language models to autocomplete code and claims 50% of code is written by AI in files where it’s enabled, with a projection toward 80%. It launched internal tests in 2020 and public preview in 2021, and teams report roughly a 30% productivity gain for small startups. Examples cited: banks still running COBOL from the 1960s migrating versions, Germany ranking 6th in G7 and 17th in G20 on digitalization, and open source contributors ranking seventh on GitHub. Policy notes include EU AI Act exemptions for research and open source.
