- Pagerduty study claims that 73% of British companies already have “fully” integrated Genai
- 55% plan to adopt agentic AI at a “accelerated pace” the report says
- Early adopters are more likely to continue
Three out of four (73%) British companies have “fully” integrated generative AI tools in their businesses as they move from experimentation to implementation, putting the nation ahead of the global average of 63%.
New research from Pagerduty claims that Australia is also leading the way with 69% full integration, while Japan and its notorious aging population hang at only 44%.
Cases in the real world are also evolving, with 94% of companies now expecting to adopt Agent AI faster than generative AI when seeking the productivity -enhancing benefits of autonomy.

Although the figures suggest that the interest in agent AI could be higher, it is also plausible that companies have learned from their slow and cautious approach to AI in its early stages.
In 2023, a year after Chatgpt was launched in Public Preview, only 33% of companies reported at least one business function for Genai. A year later, in July 2024, this had risen to 71%.
More than half (55%) of the 1,000 IT and business leaders examined by Pagerduty confirmed that they will integrate AI agents “at an accelerated pace.”
Half (51%) has already implemented AI agents, with 35% planning to do so within the next two years. Only 3% have no definitive timelines for agent AI implementation.
Interestingly, the study reveals that 44% were concerned about their urgent Genai adoption – a mistake that leaders hope not to do again.
Managers have also learned to assess cost control (40%), improve employee education (37%) and strengthen the data infrastructure (37%) as they elaborate on their relationship with artificial intelligence.
“Companies that successfully integrate Agentic AI into their operations can expect increased efficiency gains by automating complexity and accelerating decision making,” summarized Pagerduty Cio Eric Johnson.
Looking ahead, the report suggests that 71% of companies that have fully implemented generative AI are “far more likely to have already implemented Agentic AI, demonstrating the power of making the first step.
