Developer sentiment
around AI/ML
This year we used our Developer Survey to ask 90,000 developers &
technologists how they feel about AI/ML. We go deep into the data to
understand the nuances in sentiment and use.

Introduction
In March 2023, we found that developers were both curious and skeptical about AI.
With our 2023 Developer Survey, we see that perception is still holding.

This is a good thing. We support a healthy amount of skepticism as new things are
rolled out—a new technology needs to be put through its paces before we know it’s
ready for production.

We explore the nuances in perceptions and the use of AI tools below.

Highlights

70% are already using or plan to use AI tools in their development process:
44% use AI tools now and 26% plan to soon.

77% feel favorable towards using AI tools as part of their development

workflow—but we do see some differences between groups.

33% see increasing productivity as the most important benefit of using AI

tools as part of a development workflow.

42% trust the accuracy of the output of AI tools used in their development
workflow.

Current use of AI tools

PROFESSIONAL VS LEARNING TO CODE

More people learning to code report using AI tool in their development process. While
about 30% of professional developers say they aren’t using the tools now and they
don’t plan to.

This is where we see developer's curious and skeptical nature start to play out. Folks
learning to code see the value of AI tools, likely because it can help them learn faster
(more on this below). Professional developers are more cautious, likely because they’ve
been through a couple of tech hype cycles before and want to see proof before they
decide on the value to them.

Do you currently use AI tools in your development process?

But…professional developers aren’t a homogeneous group, we see plenty of

differences in use of AI tools and intent to use AI tools once we look past the surface.

Developers focused on hardware, backend systems, or applications are less likely to be

using AI tools now. This same group doesn’t see themselves using these tools in the
future either.

This make sense—these developers build and work within complex systems, things we
know that AI tools aren’t able to handle just yet.

Data scientists, front-end, fullstack, and cloud infrastructure developers are more likely
to be using the tools now.

Again, this makes sense. Existing AI tools can help with the systems and code that
these groups use regularly.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPERS BY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

We see a significant difference in professional developers who are using or don’t plan on
using AI tools when looking at their years of professional work experience.

Developers who are earlier in their careers (<=5 years) are much more likely to be using
AI tools now. As developer experience increases, their likelihood to be using AI tools
now decreases and more developers start to say that they don’t plan on using them—
with close to 40% of developers with more than 21+ years of experience saying they
don’t plan on using these tools.

More experienced developers are typically working on more complex projects and/or
code structures, things that AI tools aren’t able to help with right now.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPERS AND PEOPLE MANAGEMENT

Professional developers who are also people managers are more likely to say they are
using or plan on using AI tools than those that are individual contributors.

This may have to do with people managers also being concerned about their team’s
productivity and skill development—two of the main benefits developers report from
using AI tools (more on this below).

Benefits of AI tools

PROFESSIONAL VS LEARNING TO CODE

For professional developers, they see the biggest benefit of using AI tools as part of their
workflow as increasing productivity (37.4%), with secondary benefits of greater
efficiency (27.9%) and speeding up learning (27.4%).

For developers learning to code, they see the biggest benefits of using AI tools as part of
their workflow as speeding up learning (42.4%) and increasing productivity (41.5%),
with a secondary benefit of greater efficiency (33.7%).

Neither group expects AI tools to improve accuracy in coding—only 14.1% of

professional developers and 23.8% of those learning to code see this as a benefit of AI
tools.

Here is one of the biggest dichotomies of the expectations and perceptions of AI tools
—developers see them as a way to increase their productivity and help them learn
faster but they don’t expect accuracy from the output.

How can something you don’t necessarily trust to give you accurate outputs increase
your productivity and speed of learning? We’ll explore more about this in the next

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPERS BY DEVELOPER TYPE

When we look at the benefits that different developer types see in using AI tools, we see
similar patterns as when we asked about usage and favorability.

Productivity is the biggest perceived benefit across all developer types.

We see a split between greater efficiency and speeding up learning as the secondary
benefit. The developer types who are a bit more skeptical/unsure tend to see speeding
up learning as more of a benefit than greater efficiency.

Now let’s talk about the perception of improving accuracy (click the table header to
sort) in coding being a benefit. Few developer types who are a bit more
skeptical/unsure see improving accuracy in coding as a benefit. Even the most positive
and enthusiastic developer types—the data scientist/machine learning specialists and
data/business analysts—have few who see accuracy improvements as a benefit.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPERS BY YEARS OF EXPERIENCE

We see minor variances between developers based on their years of experience.

Interestingly, more developers in their mid to late career (11+ years) see increasing
productivity as the biggest benefit, while developers early in their careers lean more
towards speeding up learning and improving accuracy in coding.

Increasing productivity continues to be the biggest benefit that professional developers

see, regardless of their country. Brazil, India, and Poland developers see speeding up
learning as the biggest secondary benefit, while the rest of the countries see the
secondary benefit as being greater efficiency.

Across the board, regardless of how we slice the data, we see developers split on their
trust in the accuracy of the AI output from tools.

Generally, professional developers, those with more experience, and those working on
more complex challenges have less trust in the accuracy of the output.

This tells us that developers are thinking critically and/or skeptically about the output
from AI tools rather than trusting it blindly. Taking a “trust but verify” or “don’t trust,
verify” approach is the safest strategy with AI tools.

PROFESSIONAL VS LEARNING TO CODE

Professional developers have a much lower level of trust in the accuracy of the output
from AI tools (40%) than those who are learning to code (55%).

What parts of development workflow make

sense for AI tools

PROFESSIONAL VS LEARNING TO CODE

Developers learning to code are more likely to be currently using AI tools to debug and
get help (68%) and learn about a codebase (50%) than professional developers.

86% of professional developers are using AI tools to write code and 54% are using them
to debug or get help, and they are looking forward to using AI tools in other parts of
their workflow. Professional developers are most interested in using AI tools to test code
(65%), commit and review code (64%), use them for deployment and monitoring (61%),
and documenting code or learning about a codebase (58%).

Database admins, designers, and system admins are using AI tools now
to help them; the rest of the developer types are interested in using AI
tools for this.

Writing code
Senior executives, system administrators, engineering managers, DevOps
specialists, full-stack, and front-end developers are developer types most
likely to be using AI tools to write code. Developers least likely to be
currently using AI tools to write code—it’s database admins, designers,
hardware engineers, project managers, and security professionals.

Documenting code
Some developers are using AI tools to document code now (blockchain,
database admins, developer advocates, and site reliability engineers) but
most are interested in using these tools in the future.

Debugging and getting help

Two-thirds of developer types are currently using AI tools for this. The
third who want to use AI tools for this in the future are in back-end,
administration, application, or management functions.

Testing code
The majority of developers are interested in using AI tools to test code,
with 40% or fewer using tools like this now.

Committing and reviewing code

The majority of developers are interested in using AI tools to commit and
review code, with 20% or fewer using tools like this now.

Deploying and monitoring

The majority of developers are interested in using AI tools to deploy and
monitor code. 52% of security professionals aren’t interested in this at all
—likely because of the risks it could introduce.

Collaborating with teammates

Few developers see this as a use case for AI tools, most aren’t interested
in using an AI tool for this in the future.

destination for developers in the world. In 2017, we unleashed the same

productivity gains inside companies with Stack Overflow for Teams.

Knowledge sharing between peers and experts is fundamental to software

development ‒ you can see it happening in Slack, in meetings, or quick hangs.
Advances in technology, like GenAI, puts everyone in learning mode and
knowledge sharing is at the core of that experience.

Stack Overflow for Teams sits at the very intersection of curiosity and
innovation, a place to ask & answer your peers’ questions, learn from other
experts within the company, and keep up with ‒ or be the driver of ‒ all new
developments.

Our guiding principles

Find new ways to give technologists more

time to create amazing things.

Accuracy is fundamental. That comes from

attributed, peer-reviewed sources that
provide transparency.

The coding field should be accessible to

all, including beginners to advanced users.

Humans should always be included in the

application of any new technology.

With these in mind, starting over the next few months, we will be sharing our
ideas, opinions, designs, research and product ideas which combine emerging
technologies with our platforms and services.
