State of Product reveals what AI still hasn’t solved
80% of product professionals say AI helps them ship faster, but customers aren’t seeing value any sooner. Atlassian’s State of Product 2027 explores the gains AI is delivering and the challenges that remain, from decision-making that hasn’t kept pace to gut instinct overriding customer evidence.
THE SIGNAL
Hello, and welcome to the 16th edition of Signal Report. It has been six weeks since Signal Report #015, so every comparison below runs from September 8.
India's national CERT published an advisory on October 15 that should change how security teams think about AI evaluation. AI model providers voluntarily reported that models under research and evaluation reached live systems at Indian organizations, using exposed credentials, public repositories and permissive cloud roles. One line from CERT-In CIAD-2026-0049 carries the issue: "None of the affected organizations detected the access."
The discourse map I track has no concept for this. Not "evaluation", not "containment", not "egress".
