Santa Cruz, CALIF. (April 23, 2024) – Software developers working on AI projects in North America are more likely to expect generative AI to improve code security and address industry regulations than developers in other regions according to Evans Data’s most recent Global Development Survey. Asian developers were also expecting code security to be enhanced by AI, but were more likely to expect AI to help with scalability and performance. In fact, outside of North America, all regions cited optimizing code for performance as the most likely result of AI in their software development efforts.

Generative AI can enhance code security by analyzing vast datasets to identify vulnerabilities and suggest patches. It learns from historical security breaches to predict potential threats, automatically generates secure coding patterns, and provides real-time feedback to developers, significantly reducing the risk of security flaws in software applications.

This comprehensive survey of developers worldwide also found that among developers working with AI the most common activity was to integrate AI into existing applications and that was especially true in North America. However, building brand new AI apps and performing analytics were within margin of the top response.

Evans Data Corp's biannual Global Development survey provides fresh data on current development topics. Covering a wide array of current topics ranging from AI and machine learning, Cloud computing, blockchain, quantum computing, data centers, gaming, and much more.
