Vibe Coding: AI Writes Code, Developers Prompt; Global Adoption Surges

• Vibe coding is a new software development style where AI generates most code from natural language prompts.
• Coined by AI researcher Andrej Karpathy in 2025, it shifts programming from typing syntax to conversing with AI.
• Tools like Anthropic's Claude Code, OpenAI's Codex, and Cursor enable this, with Cursor reaching $2 billion in annualised revenue.
• Global adoption is rapidly increasing; 92% of U.S. developers use AI coding tools daily, and 41% of global code is AI-generated.
• Asia-Pacific leads adoption (40.7%), with India alone accounting for 16.7%; however, AI-generated code can introduce bugs and requires human oversight.
