About this listen
In this episode, Jonathan Blaber and returning guest Eric Schwartz recap Schwartz’s 2025 AI Predictions and discuss how accurate they were. They cover the rapid rise of agentic AI, enterprise AI adoption (including major investments and ROI), model specialization and personalities, and how jobs and skills are evolving. They also explore emerging trends for 2026 like autonomy, vibe coding (AI-driven development), improved memory and personalization in models, robotics, and the environmental and economic impacts of AI.
Eric shares real-world examples and use cases, from AI voice agents and enterprise bots to rapid prototype building and potential space-based data centres, highlighting both opportunities and challenges for businesses and workers.
