One criticism that deserves attention: questions about AI were only answered by approximately one-third of respondents, while the other questions obtained response rates of 60% to 70%, suggesting a potential self-selection bias around the 84% adoption and 46% reported distrust.

Still, with nearly 49,000 developers surveyed from 177 countries and over 314 technologies represented, the picture the report paints of high AI adoption, growing skepticism about its accuracy, and a real trust gap matches up very well with what we see in the global development community.
