Huawei Predicts Massive Growth in AI Agents by 2035 Amid Differing Safety Approaches
Huawei forecasts that by 2035, autonomous AI agents will generate over 90% of global AI token traffic, with an estimated 900 billion agents active worldwide. The company emphasizes the need for increased computing power and new security measures to manage these agents. Huawei's rotating chairman, Eric Xu, noted that Chinese AI developers may not yet face the frontier risks seen in the U.S., advocating continued development alongside risk management. China favors rapid AI deployment with evolving safety standards, contrasting with calls in the U.S. to slow AI progress for safety reasons.
