GitLab released its AI Accountability Report on June 23–24, 2026. Harris Poll survey of 1,528 developers and technology buyers across six countries.
92% report governance challenges with AI-generated code. 83% identify AI-generated code accumulation as a risk; 44% call it a top technology risk. 60% say AI coding ROI exceeded expectations; 78% report faster code output. Only 28% have fully integrated SDLC tools for traceability.
85% agree the next phase of AI in software will focus less on generating code and more on governing it.
