why aren't all 11 resolved? a statement only gets an assessment when the public record can support or contradict it. opinions and what-ifs never can, and 0 checkable ones are still open, waiting for their date. predictions held up or didn't; assertions are supported or contradicted. on every card: ▮▮▮▮▮ certainty · ▮▮▮▮▮ debate potential. speakers are clickable
Wang predicts China will deploy military AI faster than the US
“So, my expectation is that they will actually deploy AI to their military faster than the U.S., even though the U.S. Is ahead on the core technology.”
Wang: Militaries will deploy AI agents in active combat in 2025
“20, 25 will be the year where we start to see several militaries around the world start utilizing AI agents in active warfighting environments to great effect.”
Wang: AI agent experimentation will yield more lethal autonomous drones
“And, you know, I think this is an area of active experimentation for a lot of militaries, but I think if you start to see that happen, then you're gonna, you will have more autonomous drones that are able to be more and more lethal, more and more effective. An…”
Wang predicts AI agents will have a 'ChatGPT moment' in 2025
“Yeah, I do think that, yeah, I think that 20, 20 25 is really going to be the year where we start to see some kind of very basic primordial AI agents really start working in the consumer realm and creating sort of real consumer adoption. You know, another way …”
Wang: The internet will split into human-facing and AI agent webs
“We will have to sort of fundamentally reformat how the internet works to be able to support it. And I think that like the you know, we're going to need in some senses, like there will be like two webs. There will be the web that that, that, that humans use whe…”
Wang: AI will eventually formulate hypotheses, run tests, and conduct research autonomously

Wang: Incoming US administration will help US surpass China in AI
“I do expect that the new admin will come in and help accelerate things to enable the US to compete more aggressively with China and ultimately come out ahead on the technology.”
Wang: Quantum computing will be really impactful in 5 to 10 years
“I think quantum computing is on kind of like the way AI was back in 2018. It's on a few scaling laws where you can definitely sort of squint and see that, you know, in five to 10 years, this is going to be A really, really impactful technology.”
Wang: Exporting AI stacks will define the next decades of geopolitics
“I think this is going to be One of the under the line battles that really defines the course of the next few decades of geopolitics.”
Wang: Consumer AI agent adoption will start with toy-like applications
“I mean, I think ultimately, I think agents are gonna start In an area that they'll feel pretty it'll feel like a toy, just like with any technology. So maybe you know, we'll all start with like a language learning agent, or we'll start with a cooking aid agent…”
Wang: In 2025, AI focus will shift to compute and data equally
“And I think what's going to happen in 25 is we're going to we're going to only be focused on who can create newer, better chips or bigger data centers with more chips, but also who can create newer and better data. And one of the things that I think we're goin…”
