Coinbase’s artificial intelligence transition is happening fast. CEO Brian Armstrong said Wednesday that 40% of the crypto exchange’s daily code is now AI-generated — and the company is on track to pass 50% by October.

### What’s the Scoop?
- **AI coding milestone:** Coinbase engineers are using tools like Copilot and Cursor to write 40% of the company’s code, with internal metrics showing the figure could soon surpass human-written code, Armstrong shared on X.
- **Productivity vs. risk:** AI boosts performance in testing and frontend work, but Coinbase said it’s balancing speed with security using internal matrices to track bug risk and repository sensitivity.

> ~40% of daily code written at Coinbase is AI-generated. I want to get it to >50% by October.Obviously it needs to be reviewed and understood, and not all areas of the business can use AI-generated code. But we should be using it responsibly as much as we possibly can.
