According to a survey by GitHub, many software engineers are extensively using AI but there are some regional differences in their usage. GitHub surveyed 2,000 respondents, mostly programmers, data scientists and developers, from different regions like India, Brazil, Germany and the US. Overall, 97% of the respondents said that they have used AI in their work one way or another. Many software development teams are also working to develop better and improved AI systems for their enterprises.
The regional data showed that a total of 82% respondents from Brazil and USA use AI while they are at work and also when they are not at work. In India, 40% of the respondents reported using AI inside as well as outside work while 39% of respondents from India said that their workplace has allowed them AI use but they do not encourage it. 49% of respondents from the USA reported that they are allowed use of AI but with least encouragement.
In Germany, 70% of the respondents said that they are allowed to use AI at work and at home but only 27% use it at work. GitHub reported that many individual organizations in Germany are not pushing the use of AI with 14% of the companies discouraging the use of AI. In other countries that were surveyed, the percentage for discouragement for use of AI is not that high. As AI can benefit software developers a lot, many companies in different countries are slowly adapting to it.
