Why AI Agents Will Demand 1,000x More Compute | Aaron Levie

Levie forecasts enterprise agent swarms, not personal AI assistants, will drive 100-1,000x today's AI compute demand over one to two decades.

• 100-1000x compute growth: Levie says agent swarms doing decoupled, background task execution—not personal assistants—will drive the next order-of-magnitude jump in AI compute demand.
• Enterprise, not consumer, is the driver: Personal agents cap out per-user, but enterprise workflows (hedge funds screening every trade, life sciences testing every pathway) scale near-infinitely with compute thrown at them.
