Trend Preparation extends past agentic AI to quantum, AGI, and ASI
Summary
KPMG argues that organizations should look beyond agentic AI while they focus on it. They also need to prepare for other emerging technologies, including quantum computing, artificial general intelligence, and artificial superintelligence, which the report expects to have fundamental impacts. Meeting these advances will require strategic foresight and ethical frameworks. It will also require workforces that are skilled, adaptable, and willing to work and think in different ways. Leaders, the report says, should position their organizations not only to adapt but to lead responsibly as machine intelligence becomes a core driver of value and societal progress.
