A blogger reviews the well-known prediction essay "AI 2027," noting that 19 out of its 24 forecasts have already come true, showing that the trajectory is highly accurate.
Key predictions for the near future include:
- By late 2026: Increasingly capable and affordable AI agents will begin replacing junior software engineers and reshaping the economy.
- In 2027: Superhuman coding agents will automate AI research itself, triggering an intelligence explosion that could produce artificial superintelligence (ASI) and a severe alignment crisis by year's end.
