Spyridon Alvanakis Apostolou, Jan Bosch, Helena Holmström Olsson/Agentic AI in Industry: Adoption Level and Deployment BarriersUnknown

Agentic AI systems are entering software engineering workflows, yet empirical evidence on how industrial organizations actually adopt them remains sparse. We present a qualitative interview study with sixteen practitioners across twelve companies of varying size and domain. This study characterizes the current agentic AI adoption state of these companies, employing a six-level maturity framework adapted from established AI-driven organizations. The findings reveal that seven companies operate at Level~1 (AI Assistants), four companies at Level~2 (AI Compensators), and only one in Level~3 (Multi-Agent Orchestration), with large and safety-regulated organizations among the most advanced adopters. The primary finding is a capability-deployment verification gap, four companies demonstrated higher-level experimental AI capabilities but cannot integrate them into production workflows because adequate output verification mechanisms are absent, leaving human-in-the-loop as the only trusted verification mechanism. This gap is shaped by four recurring barriers: context window of LLMs constraints especially when diverse knowledge aggregation is needed, under-performance on proprietary programming languages and protocols, non-determinism incompatible with qualification standards, and data confidentiality concerns. Two interdependent dimensions of this gap emerge from these findings (information asymmetry and qualification absence) framing a core open problem for industrial agentic integration.
