42% Of Developers Using AI Say Their Codebase Is Now Mostly AI-Generated

I've used it for years, and there are a handful of reasons why it just works better for me than the native Gmail app. Here's why Spark is my go-to email client on all platforms. When I set up a new Android smartphone, the Gmail app only has my primary email that I set the device up with-not any of my half dozen other accounts I use on a daily basis. Because of this, when using the Gmail app, I have to go through and manually log into each account one by one, and it's simply annoying.
Yet only 67% of those developers review this code before every deployment, despite the rise of AI-specific exploits like 'slopsquatting,' where attackers weaponize hallucinated package names suggested by coding assistants.
The findings, released today in the Cloudsmith 2025 Artifact Management Report, highlight a widening gap between AI adoption in software development and oversight of the associated risks. 20% of developers said they trust AI-generated code 'completely'. While 59% apply additional scrutiny to AI-generated packages, only 34% use tools that enforce policies specific to AI-generated artifacts, and 17% report having no such controls in place at all.
