Live Mint  

After years of hype and panic over how many jobs AI will extinguish or replace, it’s clear the technology is bringing some big changes to the coding workforce.

At Verizon, Chief Data and AI Officer Kalyani Sekar said the tools are helping the team work through a backlog of requests from the business at a faster pace—but not so much that she’s ready to think about staffing changes of either internal employees or external contractors.
