Andrew Ng: 100% of my tasks now run through AI agents

In a 30-minute talk, Google Brain founder Andrew Ng says "100% of my tasks now run through AI agents" and that the hype has exceeded his expectations. He predicts that in 3-6 months everyone will be building agent harnesses, since prompting alone won't suffice. The thread links to an article, "Harness Engineering: Build a Reliable AI Agent in 6 Layers," arguing a better prompt improves one answer while a better harness improves every run — addressing agents that forget constraints, pick wrong tools, skip verification, or loop.
