David ShapiroAI commentator & author
"At the end of 2024 I said that 2025 would be the year of the agent and 2026 would be the year of the robot. I hold to that. 2027 is the year of superintelligence."

Assessment
Analysis: a multi-part forecast. AI agents did become a dominant 2025 theme, so the "year of the agent" framing has partial support. The "year of the robot" (2026) and "superintelligence" (2027) components remain unresolved as of mid-2026. Scored partial; the later components stay open.
