Based on your message, I assume you are and want to stay in software engineering.
Having worked in regulated and very sensitive industries (banking and semiconductor), I can tell you adoption is slower but AI is still everywhere. Because those industries have many constraints, they have to think hard how to adopt it. So, you will encounter AI initiatives everywhere.
If you want to be part of those adoption initiatives but just want more thoughtful and slower adoption, such industries might be a good fit. If you want to avoid AI initiatives in general, I am not sure whether software engineering is the right function.
