Cisco Expects AI Agents to Spark Record Compute Demand

Cisco President Jeetu Patel forecasts that artificial intelligence (AI) agent adoption will accelerate dramatically, with power users growing from under 2% to at least 30% within a year. He warns that this expansion will drive unprecedented token consumption and strain computing infrastructure, with security remaining the chief barrier to wider deployment.

Why it matters: Infrastructure and security teams should plan for AI token demand spikes and audit AI agent deployments for security gaps, as adoption rates are expected to surge significantly.
