Devs don't trust AI code - but many say they still don't check it anyways

• 96% of developers don't fully trust AI, 52% don't always check for errors
• The majority of ChatGPT and Perplexity users access AI through a personal account
• Conversely to trends, data exposure and vulnerabilities are big concerns

Sonar's latest State of Code Developer Survey has found almost all (96%) developers say they don't fully trust AI-generated code to be functionally correct, despite widespread use, and even worse, many don't check their AI-generated code properly.

Currently, around 42% of developers' code is said to be AI-generated (up a significant amount from just 6% in 2023), but this is expected to rise to around 65% by 2027.

And yet not even half (48%) of them always check AI's work before committing, highlighting a huge potential for bugs and vulnerabilities to be introduced.
