Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev has said that the majority of his company's new code is written by AI, with 'close to 100%' of engineers using AI code editors. Speaking on the 20VC podcast, Tenev estimated around 50% of new code at the trading platform is AI-generated.

Tenev said the 50% figure is imprecise due to advanced 'agentic' code editors that have made it difficult to distinguish human-written from AI-generated code.

Tenev estimated only a 'minority' of new code at Robinhood is written by humans.
