Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong recently revealed that he fired engineers who refused to adopt AI coding tools, even after the crypto exchange platform bought business licenses for AI tools such as GitHub Copilot and wiser. Brian Armstrong appeared on the Podcast Cheeky Pint with Stripe President John Collison on Wednesday. He talked about AI use at Coinbase and said, “We lean as hard as we can.” The company has also set a strict one-week deadline to learn AI instruments and directly supervise the CEO for non-compliance, showing how serious technical enterprises AI adoption takes among their development teams. No, no work Armstrong instructed AI by asking his team within a week to learn the tools. “Originally, they came back and said,” Okay, over the next term … We’re going to get 50% (AI) adoption. “I said,” You don’t tell me on board the week? ” To meet with you to understand why. However, the meeting with the CEO became a career definition moment for several employees. “I jumped on this call on Saturday, and there were some people who didn’t. Armstrong admitted that his approach may have been hard: “By the way, the heavy-handed approach really didn’t like it, but I think it at least stipulated a little clarity that we should lean and learn about it.” He also set an ambitious target to reach 50% AI-written codes. To increase the company, the company does a monthly ‘AI speed, where one of the engineers volunteers does this month to use a training to use it. We try to choose the people, the teams that do it best. “Armstrong also talked about the need for oversight of human supervision to ensure accuracy, especially given the financial focus of Coinbase.” You don’t want people to code these systems that move money. We really encouraged people to really judge it and have the appropriate checks on place of people in the loop. “The increase in AI use by global companies is slowly dominating different industries. May the industries that will play a key role in the application of India to become the third largest economy in the world will largely be those who adopt artificial intelligence.
