"The highest use of AI is for writing new code (71 percent of developers), and the most common interaction with AI is via chatbots (among all users, not all of whom are coders), followed by IDEs (integrated development environments). Use of agent mode, where AI makes changes autonomously, is less common, with 61 percent saying they never do this and only 17 percent doing so once a day or more often."
"Included in the research paper is the DORA AI Capabilities Model with seven technical and cultural best practices for AI adoption. These comprise clear communication of AI usage policies, high quality internal data, AI access to that data, strong version control, small batches of work, user-centric focus, and a high quality internal platform. This last is vaguely defined but refers to the software and systems on which developers build applications and services."
Nearly 5,000 IT professionals responded to a DORA survey analyzed by the DORA team. Ninety percent of respondents report some use of AI for software development, with 71 percent using it to write new code. Chatbots are the most common AI interaction, followed by IDE integrations. Agent mode, where AI makes autonomous changes, remains uncommon: 61 percent never use it and only 17 percent use it daily. Eighty percent report increased productivity from AI, while 30 percent distrust AI-generated code and many note increased delivery instability. A seven-part AI Capabilities Model outlines technical and cultural practices for adoption.
