Exploring the ways in which developers work with AI models, tools, APIs, and services

SlashData’s Developer Nation survey is the leading research programme on mobile, desktop, industrial IoT, consumer electronics, embedded, third-party app ecosystems, cloud, web, game, AR/VR and machine learning developers, as well as data scientists, tracking developers’ experiences across platforms, technologies, programming languages, app and API categories, revenue models, segments, and regions.

The 26th edition of the Developer Nation survey reached more than 10,000 respondents from 135 countries around the world. This research report delves into key developer trends for Q1 2024 and beyond.

This report investigates the current landscape of developers' work with artificial intelligence (AI) technologies and how this impacts their careers. We start by looking at the ways in which developers work with machine learning (ML)/AI models, tools, APIs, and services and highlight

the key differences between professional and amateur developers. Following this, we focus on professional developers and explore the correlation between working with AI and self-perceived promotion opportunities at their current jobs. Finally, we take a closer look at the developers who are the most likely to express intent of quitting or changing jobs in the next 12 months.
