Software development teams are beginning to see the value of AI coding tools, according to new research, with developers revealing the solutions have helped them learn new languages and save time.

GitHub surveyed 2,000 software engineers, developers, and programmers from the US, Brazil, Germany, and India, as well as a small number of data scientists and software designers.

Over 97% of respondents said they had used AI coding tools at work at some point, although some of these instances were not sanctioned by their companies.

GitHub noted that this year software development teams recognized more benefits with AI coding tools than previously reported. Developers using these solutions noted they were delivering more secure software, better code quality, improved test case generation and faster adoption of new languages.
