That 30% code written by AI part seems extremely doubtful. A lot of companies are signaling this nonsense to make themselves seem modern when in reality it makes them look weak.
Or at least developers whose performance evaluation mandates AI usage and 30% sounds like a good number that’s not so big as to make management think they can just lay them off but not so small as to tank their performance review.
It’s almost certainly mostly “honor system”, from what I’ve seen they can tell how much code is generated but not how much actually lands in a code repo, except by self reporting.

Microsoft is one of companies providing AI so they want the hype.
Honestly considering how much Windows has been fucking up far more than usual lately, I actually wouldn’t even doubt this figure at this point.
Isn’t that because they got rid of the dedicated QA teams? We’re the testers now!
30% of all NEW code seems plausible to me.
