"Roughly 10% of Uber's code changes are produced by autonomous agents, CEO Dara Khosrowshahi said. Human employees still check the code before it gets added to a repository."
"We're seeing uptake of these tools, whether it's our legal team or marketing team or developers. We think it's creating kind of employees with superpowers."
"Uber has increased its AI spending after it underestimated the amount of impact the AI tools could have in budgeting that it did at the end of 2025."
"If every person at this company can increase their throughput by 20%, 30%, 50%, 100%, then I think metering headcount growth and leaning in on AI investment is going to be well worth it."
Uber is increasingly relying on AI, with 10% of its code changes produced by autonomous agents. Human employees still review the code before it is added. The company has utilized AI for pricing and matching drivers for years, and now various teams are adopting AI tools. Uber is investing more in AI while hiring less, expecting significant productivity gains. The first-quarter earnings showed a revenue of $13.2 billion, with gross bookings up 25%. The company anticipates a growth in EPS for the second quarter.
