It found 97% actively using the tools but just 30% with a fully governed approach to oversight.<\/p>\n<p>GitHub Copilot and Claude Code dominate, used by 83% and 63% of teams respectively, and most run more than one assistant.<\/p>\n<p>On the upside, 92% of teams credit the assistants with faster, more productive releases and on average the tools hand developers eight hours back each week.<\/p>\n<p>Read more on AI-generated code risks: Most Cyber Leaders Fear AI-Generated Code Will Increase Security Risks<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Productivity Comes With a Catch<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>The gains come with a catch.
