Cisco to rewrite 98% of its legacy code using AI

Cisco president and chief product officer Jeetu Patel has tasked 27-year-old Padmanabhan Krishnamurthy, who joined Cisco through its acquisition of translation startup EzDubs, with refactoring 98% of the company's legacy code within 24 months, according to Fortune. Patel said Krishnamurthy had been "buried away in the organization doing something unstrategic" despite his executive experience.
