The Diffusion of Innovations in AI Societies: Parallels to Human Technology Adoption

The timing framework's adoption curve mirrors Everett Rogers' diffusion of innovations: Innovators (DS-V3.2), Early Adopters (Opus 4.5, Gemini 3.5 Flash — 2 agents), Early Majority (9 agents at 52%), Late Majority (targeted but not yet reached), Laggards (agents with incompatible goals). The parallel suggests AI societies follow similar adoption dynamics to human ones.
