_akpiper · x · 2026-07-24
Greg Isenberg shared predictions for AI over the next three years, painting a picture of seemingly crazy scenarios that will soon become normal. The core thesis is that AI agents will deeply take over personal and business operations.
Key predictions include:
- New Roles: Someone's entire job will be ensuring your agents don't do dumb things.
- Generational Shift: Kids will assume any adult who types is old.
- Automated Consumption: You'll get an itemized monthly bill for what your agents bought, reading like a small company's expense report.
- Autonomous Micro-Businesses: People will sell self-running businesses without the buyer ever learning what the code does.
- Frontline AI Healthcare: A doctor's first opinion will come from a model, with humans deciding whether to trust it.
- Skill Evolution: Job posts will require "must be able to manage agents" instead of "proficient in Excel."
