Detailed summary

Milestone co-founder Liad Elidan tells The Jerusalem Post Business and Innovation podcast that companies are racing to adopt AI coding tools without the governance to know whether they are paying off

Companies are racing to give their software engineers AI coding tools, but most cannot say whether the spending is improving their products, according to Liad Elidan, co-founder and CEO of Israeli startup Milestone, which was built to answer that question.Elidan made the case on the Jerusalem Post Business and Innovation podcast, since his company works with enterprises that employ 200 or more engineers, linking AI usage, engineering output, code quality and governance to business metrics.AI lets teams finish far more work, faster, Elidan said, but nobody is checking whether it is the right work or good work. "The gains, even doing it blindly, are so high that you better do it," he added.
