OpenAI published economic research showing that enterprise non-developer workers adopted its Codex AI agent platform at a rate 189 times faster than the August 2025 baseline, surpassing the adoption rate of software engineers. The findings, released in a paper titled "The Shift to Agentic AI: Evidence from Codex," provide hard usage data confirming that agentic AI has already moved beyond technical teams into broader enterprise use, ending speculation about whether it would cross that boundary.
