Summary: A recent industry survey shows that 64% of enterprise development teams now use AI tools for at least part of their code review process, up from 28% in 2024.
Why It Matters for Developers
AI-assisted code review is becoming standard practice. Teams that don't adopt it risk falling behind in review throughput. However, the data also shows that human oversight remains critical for security-sensitive changes and architectural decisions.
My Take
I use AI tools daily for first-pass reviews on boilerplate-heavy PRs, but you still need senior eyes on business logic. The sweet spot is AI for syntax/style/simple bugs and humans for intent and architecture.
