Gary Marcus:

  1. Hallucinations (which should really be called confabulations) will continue to haunt generative AI.
  2. Reasoning flubs will continue to haunt generative AI. 
  3. AI “Agents” will be endlessly hyped throughout 2025 but far from reliable, except possibly in very narrow use cases. 
  4. Humanoid robotics will see a lot of hype, but nobody will release anything to remotely as capable as Rosie the Robot. Motor control may be impressive, but situational awareness and cognitive flexibility will remain poor. (Rodney Brooks continues to make the same prediction.)
