Anthropic's Claude: AI Writes 80%+ of Its Own Code

Anthropic, an artificial intelligence lab, is seeing more than four-fifths of its code written by its own chatbot, Claude. This is a significant increase from "low single digits" before Claude Code launched in February 2025. What's interesting is that this AI system, Claude Code, has become indispensable for developers globally. Its models can now complete tasks that would take human engineers more than a working day. The company's co-founder, Jack Clark, believes there's a 60% chance that by the end of 2028, an AI system could create its own successor without human involvement. This process, called recursive self-improvement, raises questions about humanity's future role in AI development. The bottom line is that AI is rapidly improving its ability to build itself, which could have major implications for how technology evolves.
