Software developers are increasingly turning to AI tools in their workflows, but a significant trust gap exists. While 84% of developers utilize AI, only 33% trust its accuracy. Many developers find AI-generated code is often 'almost right,' resulting in additional time spent debugging. A variety of professionals, including data scientists and prompt engineers, collaborate to create AI-powered applications. However, skepticism exists about AI's handling of complex problems, with 60% of engineering leaders reporting that AI-generated code introduces bugs frequently.
84% of developers now use or plan to use AI in their workflow, but only 33% trust the accuracy of AI outputs. This trust gap reflects real-world experience with AI's limitations.
66% of developers report AI-generated code being 'almost right, but not quite,' creating a hidden productivity drain as developers spend extra time debugging and polishing.
60% of engineering leaders say AI-generated code introduces bugs at least half the time, leading many to spend more time debugging AI output than their own.
Developers are crucial in orchestrating the diverse assembly line toward trustworthy, production-grade code, bridging the trust gap that AI has opened.
