Mac admins use AI code in production, rollback lags
A survey of enterprise Mac administrators reveals that most are using AI-generated code in production environments despite significant delays in rolling back failed changes. Experts warn that while AI increases deployment speed, it creates a dangerous gap in recovery capabilities.
Why it matters
It highlights the operational risks of integrating generative AI into IT infrastructure without robust safety protocols.
Fleet has published research showing that enterprise Mac administrators are using AI-generated code and configurations in production environments. It also found that when changes go wrong, rollback times often stretch from hours to days.
The findings are based on a survey of more than 250 enterprise IT practitioners who manage Apple devices.
According to the research, 86% of respondents allow AI-written output to reach production devices after some form of review. In the previous 30 days, 61% had used AI to write a mobile device management profile or configuration, 62% had used it to write scripts and code, and 68% had used it for troubleshooting or log analysis.
