Trust, Transparency And The Trajectory Of AI In Mainframe Computing
Techstrong.ai, Wednesday, March 11th, 2026
Artificial intelligence is transforming software development in remarkable ways, though the journey is filled with new challenges and uncertainties. There's a fundamental paradox at play: developers and IT pros see firsthand how AI boosts their work, yet in high-stakes environments like the mainframe that keep global business running, many still feel the need to hesitate and act with caution.
A whopping 90% of technology professionals use AI in their daily work, according to a DORA survey, and 80% say it's made them more productive. But here's the paradox: 76% admit they only 'somewhat' trust AI-or trust it even less.
Trust has been a topic in AI for at least a decade. But today we can go further. The current chapter for AI must be about building trust, embracing transparency, and mapping out smart paths forward.
