1 billion AI agents are coming — And they’re gunning for your job

SoftBank’s Masayoshi Son just dropped a wild prediction: “The era when humans program is nearing its end within our group.”

His plan?

- Deploy 1 billion AI agents this year — not to help coders, but to replace them.

- These bots will write, test, and ship code on their own.

This isn’t about speeding up dev work. It’s about making human coders… optional.

What’s next: Companies may soon tell AI the “what” — and let agents figure out the “how.”

The future of software? Zero human touch.
