Verizon CEO Dan Schulman forecast rapid AI progress, saying AI model capability will step up every two months and that AGI could arrive within 6 to 18 months. He also predicted the “era of quantum” would begin about two years after that. Verizon plans to shift its workforce from fixed roles toward a more fluid structure and to expand training, including a $70 million initiative for American workers.
