Schmidt pointed out that since late last year, advanced AI coding tools have been creating software at levels even experienced programmers find impressive.
He put it simply, "If you're writing code in any traditional way: stop. It's over."
Old-school methods just don't cut it anymore.
Schmidt urged company leaders to switch to AI-driven workflows, saying these tools can break old productivity barriers and might make current software products obsolete.
He believes the tech industry will look totally different, so staying ahead matters more than ever.
