What you’ll learn:

• Why nearly nine in 10 leaders face barriers to AI adoption
• The surprising ways executives, managers, and workers differ in their AI use
• Three imperatives for unlocking AI value in your workforce

Leaders everywhere feel pressure to adopt AI. But moving too fast without a strategy? You risk leaving your people behind and wasting your workforce AI investment.

This year’s Pulse of Talent reveals the hidden fault lines in AI adoption and how organizations can focus on the right use cases, skill-building, and trust to unlock real business value.

AI is reshaping jobs, workflows, and career paths in real time. Yet while 87% of executives already use AI at work, only 27% of employees do. The result? A widening gap that gets in the way of realizing true value from AI.

Our 16th Annual Pulse of Talent report, based on insights from nearly 7,000 workers, managers, and executives worldwide, uncovers how organizations can bridge this divide and turn AI from a source of disruption into a driver of growth.

100% of AI Models Fail to Generate Secure Code for Critical Development Scenarios

The Trusted Vibing Benchmark provides a critical analysis of 18 leading generative AI models, evaluating their ability to generate secure code across 31 development scenarios. The report reveals a sobering reality: 100% of tested models, including top-tier commercial and open-source options, failed to consistently produce secure code.

A key finding of the benchmark is the dramatic performance gap between model generations. The report also highlights the rising value of open-source models, which offer competitive security performance at a fraction of the cost of proprietary alternatives.

Ultimately, the report concludes that current AI code generators are insufficient for production-level development without rigorous, independent security oversight. To mitigate the “security debt” introduced by these models, Armis Labs recommends that enterprises implement AI-native Application Security (AppSec) controls.
