Companies are moving ahead with generative AI tools whether devs want to use them or not
While one in three developers is current using generative AI tools in one way or another, only nine percent said their company was mandating them. Between 2024 and 2025, however, negative attitudes toward the tech grew from 18 percent to 30 percent, while developers enthusiastic about generative AI shrunk from 21 percent to just 13 percent. Concerns cited ranged from ethics to layoffs, with over 50 percent sharing some sort of reservation, up from 42 percent a year ago.
