Summary
Google Cloud’s new Dora research report offers the most in-depth look yet at how developers are using AI—surveying nearly 5,000 professionals worldwide. The findings highlight soaring adoption (now at 90%), major gains in productivity and code quality, and a striking paradox where trust in AI still lags behind usage. Perhaps the biggest insight: AI boosts individual performance, but its real impact depends on how organizations adapt their systems and workflows to capture those gains.

| 0:00.0 | Today on the AI Daily Brief, what 5,000 developers can teach us about AI adoption, and before |
| 0:06.1 | that in the headlines, a new video model that's going to take over Twitch. |
| 0:10.4 | The AI Daily Brief is a daily podcast and video about the most important news and discussions |
| 0:14.3 | in AI. |
| 0:15.2 | All right, friends, quick notes before we dive in. |
| 0:26.1 | First, thank you to today's sponsors, robots and pencils, notion, blitzy, and super |

| 0:35.1 | And if you are interested in sponsoring the show, shoot us a note at sponsors at adailybreef.a.i. It looks like we might have just a very small number of slots opening up for the next couple of months. 2025 had looked to be completely sold out, but then there was a little bit of jostling and time switching. So if you have a release coming up in October, November, December, one of few shows to spread the word. |

| 1:14.4 | recently. It's almost like there are a few totally different parts of AI discussion, especially in |
| 1:19.1 | places like X slash Twitter. On the one hand, you get these big picture, high macro level conversations |
| 1:24.5 | around trillion-dollar infrastructure buildouts and bubbles and all of that |
| 1:27.8 | stuff. And then meanwhile, as people are debating endlessly, bubble or not, productive or not, |
| 1:34.0 | you have this legion of creators that are just pouring themselves into every new model that gets |
| 1:39.5 | released, discovering capabilities that weren't possible five minutes ago, and sometimes models pop their |
| 1:44.7 | little head up and suggest that something really different is just on the horizon. |
| 1:48.8 | This is why I've talked about this idea of a utility score and needing to judge new models |
