GoKawiilFleet survey: AI-generated scripts cause multi-day fixes for Mac IT teams
A new Fleet survey of over 250 enterprise Apple IT admins, each managing roughly 2,000 devices, found widespread adoption of AI tools in daily work. In the past 30 days, 68% used AI for troubleshooting or log analysis, 62% for writing scripts, and 61% for creating device management profiles or configurations, though errors from AI-written code reportedly take days to resolve.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The findings suggest AI has moved from experimental to routine in enterprise IT workflows, even as reliability concerns persist. Bradley Chambers' commentary implies that speed gains from AI tools may be offset by the time cost of correcting subtle mistakes, which could affect how organizations weigh AI adoption against oversight needs.
- Fleet surveyed 250+ enterprise Apple IT admins managing an average of 2,000 devices each.
- AI use is now standard: majorities use it for troubleshooting, scripting, and configuration tasks.
- Errors introduced by AI-generated code can take days to fix, according to the report.
