Recently, the news that Microsoft will use artificial intelligence (AI) and the Rust programming language to completely rewrite the Windows operating system has sparked widespread discussion in the tech community. The reason is that Microsoft's distinguished engineer Galen Hunt mentioned in a job posting that he plans to migrate millions of lines of code per month by 2030 with AI assistance, to replace the existing C/C++ codebase.
In response to this rumor, Microsoft officially issued a statement to clarify. According to AIbase, Microsoft clearly stated that there are currently no plans to use Rust and AI to fully restructure Windows or subsequent operating systems. Galen Hunt later added a note to his original job posting, emphasizing that while the company is developing new technologies for cross-language migration, Windows will not be completely rewritten in Rust, nor will it be entirely driven by AI.
Although Microsoft is indeed actively promoting the use of Rust to refactor some kernel components to enhance security, the official attitude toward using AI to generate or modify low-level system code on a large scale remains cautious. Currently, about 30% of the code within Microsoft is generated by AI, and the Chief Technology Officer predicts that this proportion could reach 95% across the industry by 2030. However, completely relying on AI without human review for coding in complex systems like Windows is still seen as carrying potential risks.
Key Points:
🛑 Official Denial: Microsoft officially clarified that there are currently no plans to use AI or the Rust programming language to completely rewrite Windows or its subsequent operating systems.
💻 Technical Limitations: Although Microsoft is developing language migration technologies and using Rust to improve kernel security, the vision of "AI-driven system development" will not be fully implemented on Windows in the short term.
🤖 AI Trends: Although 30% of Microsoft's internal code is generated by AI, experts and professional users remain cautious about the potential stability and security issues caused by large-scale AI coding.
