Technical feasibility is necessary for agentic adoption but is not sufficient to explain where agentic adoption occurs.
This conclusion is based on the observed positive alignment between AAI and technical capability measures at lower levels of adoption, combined with the unexplained adoption shortfall among high-wage and highly educated occupations.

The effect of liability on AI use for disadvantaged patients is non-monotone: use initially declines as liability increases, but can rise at higher liability levels.
