Here are my predictions for AI by 2030. I'll be happy to be wrong on any of them.

AI agents will handle roughly half of routine knowledge work — scheduling, basic research, data entry, report generation. Not because they're perfect, but because they're good enough and infinitely scalable.

Every developer will use AI-assisted coding daily. This is already nearly true in 2026 and will be universal by 2030.

Multimodal will be the default. Text-only AI will feel like black-and-white TV.

Edge AI will process most IoT data locally. The current "send everything to the cloud" approach will look wasteful in hindsight.

AI-generated content will exceed human-created content in volume (not quality). The curation skill becomes as important as the creation skill.

Personalized AI tutors will be available for every student globally. This might be AI's greatest contribution to society.

AI regulation will become globally standardized. Not identical everywhere, but with common frameworks.

The ML engineer role will evolve into the AI architect role — less model building, more system design and orchestration.

The question isn't whether this happens. It's who builds it. Will it be you?
