Anthropic’s chief financial officer, Krishna Rao, says AI is now writing about 90% of the company’s code. In interviews and coverage of his remarks, Rao frames the change as a productivity shift: AI handles routine coding work, while human employees increasingly focus on oversight, judgment, and higher-level strategy. He adds that the company’s hiring is rising rather than falling, describing recruitment as being at an all-time high. Taken together, the reports present a view that AI is reducing the time needed for certain execution tasks in software development, but the company still expands its workforce to support supervision, quality control, and broader product or business efforts. The coverage also emphasizes a change in how white-collar work is carried out—moving from direct execution toward review and management functions—as AI automates parts of the development process. The sources do not provide detailed metrics on employment levels or specific hiring roles beyond the general shift in responsibilities.
