Every industry is converging on agentic AI in software engineering, but each one is starting from a different place.

That's the finding from our MIT Technology Review Insights global survey of 300 senior technology executives across seven sectors. The report maps where those starting points diverge and argues that adoption alone won't decide which industry wins — execution at scale will.

Five findings inside:

• Where industries converge on agentic AI and where their paths split

• Adoption speed by sector and what's driving the difference

• Structural constraints that slow even the most motivated teams

• Where value shows up first — and it's not where most executives expect

• How the talent war is playing out differently across sectors
