Willison, the creator of the data analytics tool Datasette and co-founder of the uber-popular Python framework Django, shared his AI predictions for the next one, three, and six years. We are big fans of Willison here at radical, as he’s extremely level-headed when it comes to the AI hype cycle and knows what he’s talking about since he’s actually working with AIs.
Here is his take on the “topic du jour” – AI Agents/Agentic AI:
I think we are going to see a lot more froth about agents in 2025, but I expect the results will be a great disappointment to most of the people who are excited about this term. I expect a lot of money will be lost chasing after several different poorly defined dreams that share that name.
Couldn’t agree more. The rest of his post is very well worth reading.
