How Developers are Using AI: Insights From the 2025 DORA Report
"Google Cloud's 2025 DORA Report reveals how dramatically AI has reshaped software development. The annual research surveyed nearly 5,000 technology professionals worldwide, uncovering that AI has moved from a niche experiment to a standard part of the development workflow. TheORA Report shows AI adoption among software professionals has surged to 90%, a 14% increase from 2024. Developers, product managers, and engineers now spend a median of two hours daily working with AI tools."
"A striking 65% report heavy reliance on AI in their development process, with 20% saying they rely on it "a lot" and 8% reporting " a great deal.". " AI is no longer a novelty, but a near-universal part of a developer's toolkit, " notes the report."
"The 2025 DORA Report highlights clear benefits for teams integrating AI: Productivity: Over 80% of respondents said AI improved their efficiency. Code Quality: 59% reported that AI positively impacted code quality. Throughput: AI adoption is now linked to higher software delivery rates, reversing last year's slowdown."
AI adoption among software professionals has surged to 90%, with developers, product managers, and engineers spending a median of two hours daily using AI tools. Sixty-five percent report heavy reliance on AI in their development process. Over 80% of respondents say AI improved efficiency, and 59% report positive impacts on code quality. AI adoption correlates with increased software delivery throughput, reversing prior slowdowns. Trust in AI is mixed: 24% express high trust in AI outputs while 30% trust AI little or not at all. AI functions as both a mirror exposing weaknesses and a multiplier amplifying productivity, and adoption alone is insufficient without stronger AI capabilities.
