A new report from MIT Technology Review Insights, in collaboration with Microsoft, surveyed 300 technology professionals to gauge their confidence in agentic AI across various tasks. The report found that practitioners have the highest trust in agents for automated business report generation and boilerplate code creation, scoring 83.5 and 82.5 respectively. Conversely, complex, multi-step workflows like service mesh configuration and disaster recovery testing received the lowest confidence ratings. Key concerns among respondents include accountability for agent decisions and the potential for hallucinations, with a significant majority opting to keep humans in the loop for oversight and final decision-making.
