AI Signals Fundamental Shift Toward Agentic Systems

In a recent interview, journalist Kelsey Piper of The Argument and the author assess current AI advances and risks as the technology rapidly progresses from 2025 to 2026. They argue models now perform agentic tasks—planning, accessing services, and acting autonomously—raising alignment, deception, and oversight concerns. The discussion highlights competitive incentives driving faster deployment despite incomplete safety guardrails.
