"Nearly 90% of technology professionals now use artificial intelligence in their work. But according to the 2025 DORA State of AI-assisted Software Development report, there's still a significant gap in trust between developers and the tools they increasingly rely upon. The report surveyed nearly 5,000 technology professionals globally and found that while AI adoption has become "nearly universal," there are still some fundamental organisational challenges."
"The research suggests that AI amplifies the strengths or weaknesses in organisations, depending on whether they are high-performing or not. The report finds that "AI's primary role in software development is that of an amplifier. It magnifies the strengths of high-performing organisations and the dysfunctions of struggling ones." It also mentions a widespread assumption that using AI tools can drive organisational transformation, which this finding dispels."
"The 2025 Developer Survey conducted by Stack Overflow shows a growing distrust among developers, which supports these worries. The survey results show developers distrust AI tool accuracy at 46% while trust levels reach only 33%. Only 3% of developers report "high trust" in AI-generated output, suggesting widespread scepticism about the quality of AI-assisted code despite its prevalent use."
Nearly 90% of technology professionals use artificial intelligence in their work, with nearly 5,000 technology professionals participating in a global survey. AI adoption is widespread but a significant trust gap persists: 46% distrust AI tool accuracy, 33% express trust, and only 3% report high trust in AI-generated output. AI acts as an amplifier, boosting the advantages of high-performing organisations and exposing the dysfunctions of struggling ones. AI adoption has increased delivery throughput but coincided with software stability issues, persistent burnout, broken processes, and cultural friction, without guaranteeing organisational transformation.
