AI agents are currently popular, but Andrej Karpathy, former Tesla Director of AI, doubts they will be as significant as predicted in the near future.
OpenAI COO Brad Lightcap stated that 2025 would be the year of AI agents, citing the ability to build agents in a more visual and intuitive way.
“We now have the ability for enterprises to build agents in a much more visual, much more intuitive way. You’ve heard us say that 2025 has been the year of agents, we think that’s true. Codex has been a great example of us for that,”
Karpathy believes broad AI agent adoption may take up to a decade, contradicting OpenAI's claim of 2025 being the year of AI agents.
