Only 35% of open source projects have a GenAI policy, even as AI-generated code floods in

Generative AI is making open source development markedly faster, but it is also creating a quality and workload problem that technology leaders can no longer treat as someone else’s concern. New research from the Linux Foundation finds that code authoring time has fallen by an estimated 52% with GenAI, yet around a quarter of incoming pull requests (PRs) are judged to be low-quality “AI slop”.

The report, Navigating Open Source Software Development in the Generative AI Era: Challenges and Opportunities for Project Communities, was published by LF Research with sponsorship from Red Hat and additional support from Futurewei, OpenSSF and LF AI & Data.

Productivity gains, with a catch

For both contributors and maintainers, the research found that GenAI boosts productivity by up to 50% across all types of open source development tasks. The benefits extend beyond writing code faster. Respondents reported average time reductions across all six development...

Enterprises spend 28% of software budgets on upgrades they didn’t choose, survey finds

For most CIOs, the software roadmap is not entirely their own. New research puts a number on how much of it belongs to someone else: large enterprises say they spend an average of 28% of their software budgets on upgrades, migrations and licensing changes they would not have actively chosen.
