Seventy years of AI, and the filter 2026 adds.
Our December 2025 outlook: the long history of AI in one view, then one call for 2026. Operational readiness, not model access, decides who captures the value.

Agentic AI is ready for real work. Most operations are not.
Where AI came from, where 2026 takes it, and what to fix first.
What it is
An interactive site we published in December 2025. It follows AI from the 1956 Dartmouth workshop to the agents of 2025, with each milestone and its source. Then it makes one prediction for 2026, the Great Operational Filter. The technology is ready. The value goes to companies with documented processes, clean data and execution discipline.
Who it is for
Leaders and operations teams who plan their AI work for 2026 and want the history and the reasoning in one place, with the sources named.
Not for: A forecast for your own company. It is our reading of the market in December 2025.
