> Ask what’s actually slowing developers down. Create psychological safety so they’ll tell you the truth,” Stefanescu said. “Then use AI to solve those problems, not the ones leadership imagines exist.”

Is this not the very definition of "a solution seeking a problem"?

Yes, create conditions where devs can truthfully say what their friction points are. Then evaluate what the best solutions are and implement those. Who knows? AI might be a good solution, but also it might not. Preemptively assuming AI is the right answer is just continuing with the very problem this article is decrying.
