The 2026 predictions are here, and they range from enterprise agents to the singularity

New year predictions from AI leaders and commentators span a wide spectrum — from OpenAI's Greg Brockman forecasting enterprise agent adoption to more speculative claims about AGI and the singularity arriving this year.

The annual predictions cycle is in full swing, and the range this year is striking. On the grounded end, OpenAI co-founder Greg Brockman predicted that 2026 will be defined by enterprise agents and scientific acceleration, as @slow_developer reported. @daniel_mac8 offered a more specific prediction: by the end of 2026, the distinction between "technical" and "non-technical" people will be largely irrelevant, replaced by the ability to articulate problems precisely.
