2026 is the Year of AI Agents

Eric Schmidt has been like Cassandra, prophesying the rise of AI agents as the next phase of the AI agents.

I’ve been listening to Schmidt touting AI agents probably for more than a year now. And, sure enough, everything he’s said is true.

Village Global Luminary LP Eric Schmidt on the agentic revolution timeline: “Agents connected to solve business processes, government processes — adopted most quickly in companies that have a lot of money and a lot of time, latency issues at stake. Adopted most slowly in places like government, which do not have an incentive for innovation.” “The agents are going to happen. The math thing is going to happen. The software thing is going to happen. We’re very close to these major biological understandings.” “The next questions have to do with what is the point in which this becomes a national emergency?”
