Opsera Report Highlights DevOps Challenges Created By AI Coding Tools
devops.com, Thursday, January 29th, 2026
An analysis published today by Opsera, a provider of a DevOps platform, finds that while adoption of artificial intelligence (AI) coding tools has increased developer productivity they also create more duplicate code, resulting in 15 to 18% more security vulnerabilities per line of code compared to code created by a human developer.
Overall, the Opsera report finds 90% of the enterprise organizations it was able to analyze have adopted AI coding tools, with AI-assisted workflows, on average, achieving a 48-58% faster time-to-pull request (PR). However, AI-generated pull requests wait 4.6x longer for review than pull requests created by human developers, the report finds.
Vishnu Vasudevan, chief product officer at Opsera, said the report makes it clear that while developers are becoming more productive they are both creating new DevOps bottlenecks and aggravating existing issues as the number of pipelines being created continues to increase.
