It is worth reading the whole article for the full story.<br>
They all sound reasonable to me.<br>
I'll list the six prediction titles below.<br>
BillK<br>
<br>
1. OpenAI releases a new model in January.<br>
2. Google’s Gemini continues its march toward domination.<br>
3. Chatbots become therapy (and a bit more).<br>
4. AI-generated videos take over—and not just on Sora.<br>
5. Electricity becomes the limiting factor.<br>
6. AI invades the real world.<br>

Scientific AI Hits its "Deep Blue Moment"</b></h3><div>In 2026, AI will crack a high-profile scientific problem that captures public imagination—likely <b>protein design for a specific disease target</b> or <b>materials discovery for room-temperature superconductors</b>. This will be different from AlphaFold: it'll be a closed-loop system that designs, simulates, and validates its own hypotheses with robotic labs. The achievement will be real and important, but the hype will be worse than the "ChatGPT moment"—spawning unrealistic expectations that AI can instantly solve climate change or cure all cancers. The gap between specialized scientific AI and general problem-solving will be dangerously obscured.</div>--------------------------------</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)" class="gmail_default"></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)" class="gmail_default">The complete discussion is here -</div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)" class="gmail_default"><<a href="https://www.kimi.com/share/19b799d0-4d02-8722-8000-000008457e98" target="_blank">https://www.kimi.com/share/19b799d0-4d02-8722-8000-000008457e98</a>></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)" class="gmail_default"><br></div><div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small;color:rgb(0,0,0)" class="gmail_default">BillK</div></div></div>
