92% of developers using AI coding tools at work: Report

About 92 per cent of developers are already using AI coding tools at work, while 70 per cent reported that AI coding tools will offer them an advantage at work, a new report showed on Wednesday.

According to the software development collaboration platform GitHub, about 81 per cent of developers said AI coding tools will help increase collaboration within their teams and organisations, with security reviews, planning and pair programming identified as significant tasks to benefit.

The report includes a survey of 500 US-based developers at companies with more than 1,000 employees.

“Developers today do more than just write and ship code — they’re expected to navigate a number of tools, environments, and technologies, including the new frontier of generative artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools,” said Inbal Shani, Chief Product Officer, GitHub.
