70% of committed code is AI-generated
Uber has publicly said the figure is a little over 10%, not 70%. Its Q1 2026 prepared remarks say more than 10% of production-ready code is written autonomously by AI coding agents.
Full reasoning
This number is inconsistent with Uber’s own public statements.
In Uber’s Q1 2026 prepared remarks, the company said 95% of engineers use AI coding tools monthly, but that more than 10% of production-ready code is written autonomously by AI coding agents. Fortune’s follow-up reporting on Andrew Macdonald’s comments also says Uber CEO Dara Khosrowshahi described the figure as about 10% of committed code.
So the post’s claim that 70% of committed code is AI-generated overstates Uber’s disclosed figure by a very large margin. The 95% adoption figure is in line with Uber’s remarks, but the 70% code-share figure is not.
