Why Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff thinks engineers are safe AI—for now

Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff says AI is not replacing his 15,000 engineers—it is reshigning their role. Speaking on The Future Live, Benioff said coding agents from Anthropic, OpenAI, and Cursor have made Salesforce’s engineering org over 30% more productive, but stressed that models still cannot operate autonomously. He froze engineering hiring in FY26, cut service headcount slightly, but hired nearly 20% more salespeople to meet rising demand.
