The New Stack, Tuesday, April 21st, 2026
Only 37% of developers trust AI tools for incident response, raising concerns about reliability.
A survey reveals that developer confidence in AI-powered incident response tools remains low, with only 37% expressing trust in such systems.
This finding highlights the gap between AI capabilities and developer expectations for critical operational tasks. The low trust levels may reflect concerns about AI accuracy, false positives, and the need for human oversight in incident management.
Organizations are investing in AI for incident response, but developers remain skeptical about replacing human judgment in these critical scenarios. The data suggests that AI adoption in incident response requires significant improvements to gain broader developer acceptance.
