Will AI Replace Young Coders? Tech Mahindra's Nikhil Malhotra Responds
At the NDTV Ind.AI Summit, Nikhil Malhotra of Tech Mahindra addressed growing concerns over AI-generated code and its impact on entry-level programming jobs. He clarified that while AI can automate certain coding tasks, complex and integrated software systems still require strong human supervision. Junior coders, he said, are unlikely to be replaced outright, but their roles will evolve. The next generation of developers must adapt by focusing on supervision, problem-solving, and guiding AI outputs.
