2026 Trends: Trust in AI, Healthcare, College, AGI & More | Bryan Dennstedt, Ep 41
Todd and Bryan Dennstedt review their 2025 AI predictions, finding they accurately forecasted the AI trough of disillusionment, agentic AI emergence, and VC conservatism. They predict 2026 will be defined by organizational absorption of AI capabilities rather than new breakthroughs, with agentic workflows becoming default, SaaS pricing models compressing, and trust verification emerging as a critical business category. They emphasize that rapid AI-powered software development is fundamentally changing startup economics and making previously marginal business ideas viable.
