AI does not fix your team. It amplifies whatever is already there.
DORA State of DevOps 2025: strong teams get faster with AI, weak teams scale their chaos. 90% use AI at work, the median is ~2 hours a day, and over 80% see productivity gains — yet 30% do not trust the generated code.
There is a direct correlation: a solid internal platform ↔ the ability to extract real value from AI.
The verdict for team leads: rolling out AI without a strong platform and sound practices means scaling chaos faster. Pave the path first — then floor the pedal.
