Description:
Developers spend a median two hours every day using AI to boost productivity 
and output.

FULL STORY
======================================================================Google 
survey finds 90% of developers use AI at work, 80% see higher productivity 
Two-thirds rely heavily on AI, many use it 2 hours/day Many still dont fully 
trust AIs output, suggesting more needs to be done 

Its no secret that developers are using AI to help with their repetitive 
coding activities, but new Google research has revealed the true extent of AI 
use  two in three (65%) software devs saying they now heavily rely on AI 
tools . 

In terms of general use, nearly all development professionals (90%) 
reportedly they now use AI, a sharp rise over the 14% observed in 2024. 

Today, the median time spend using AI in workflows among these type of 
workers now stands at two hours. Google says developers are really using AI 

The benefits for developers using the technology are clear  four in five 
agree they see higher productivity from AI use, and three in five (59%) claim 
to see improvements in their code quality. 

When using generative AI, developers can free themselves up more time for 
problem-solving, design and oversight, with AI handling the lower-level 
coding demands. 

However, there remains some resentment over handing over work to computer 
intelligence, with fewer than a quarter (24%) trusting AI outputs a lot or a 
great deal. As such, developers tend to see AI as a supportive tool, and not 
a replacement for human judgement. 

Despite our worst fears, the report also reveals that AI adoption has not 
significantly changed how developers experience their work lives yet, with 
programmers feeling that their expertise is still valued despite the rise of 
time-saving AI. 

For companies, AI has both positive and negative implications, with Google 
Senior Director for Product Management Ryan J Salva calling the tech a mirror 
and a multiplier. 

In cohesive organizations, AI boosts efficiency. In fragmented ones, it 
highlights weaknesses, Salva noted . 

The decade-old DevOps Research and Assessment (DORA) program split workers 
into seven team archetypes to dive a little deeper into how AI affects 
developers at work, concluding that organizations must evolve their culture, 
processes and systems to support a new era of software development. You might
