According to GitHub CEO Thomas Dohmke, by 2027, India will surpass the US as the country with the largest software developer community worldwide, coinciding with the growth of artificial intelligence (AI). Dohmke stated that tens of millions of Indian developers are building the nation’s future digital public infrastructure, which is boosting the country’s economy.
Developers can write, store, manage, and distribute their code via the GitHub platform. Microsoft purchased the business in 2018.
“Developers drive GDP growth and technological progress to the tune of trillions of US dollars. And the opportunity goes further because software developers are adopting AI faster than any other sector of the global workforce,” Dohmke said.
Leading the charge in GitHub’s incorporation of OpenAI’s GPT models, the executive created GitHub Copilot, the first AI developer tool in the world that facilitates software code autocomplete.
“Developers are already 55% faster using Copilot, an acceleration not seen since the industrial age,” Dohmke said.
For India, AI is the opening chapter of a new book of opportunity, he said. “We are living in an era where every company can and must become an AI company… each company who embraces this and becomes early adapters will exist on a whole other spectrum of productivity entirely.”
Dohmke said companies must first identify gaps in productivity and then fill them using AI. “Identify the productivity gaps in your company at large, because AI in search of a problem is pointless. AI, for the sake of AI’s pointlessness, is a solution to the problem; that is the whole point.”
Dohmke, who cited GitHub as an example, claimed that experimenting with AI had reduced customer care volumes by more than 20% annually and urged businesses to adopt an AI integration mindset.
“Every person in your organization needs to buy into this culture, from the leadership team down to the entry-level employees, and that starts with leading by example. We need leaders who will model what it looks like to leverage automation in their everyday lives,” Dohmke said.
