Hidden Layers
Why Agentic AI Isn’t Ready for Prime Time—Yet | EP. 47
Artificial intelligence is shifting from prediction to autonomy—and “agentic AI” is leading the charge. In this episode of Hidden Layers, KUNGFU.AI’s Ron Green, Dr. ZZ Si, and Michael Wharton unpack what it really means for machines to act on their own, what’s hype versus real progress, and how far we are from true artificial general intelligence (AGI).
They discuss:
- How coding agents are transforming development workflows
- Why agentic AI is both overhyped and underutilized
- The challenges of scaling reliable autonomy
- The connection between AGI, biology, and lifelong learning
- Whether new architectures or cognitive inspiration will take us the rest of the way
