Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff Says His Company Will Have a Billion AI Agents by End of 2025

Marc Benioff, CEO and co-founder of San Francisco-based software giant Salesforce is on track to have a billion artificial intelligence (AI) agents by the end of 2025. “We’re remarkably on track,” Benioff said during an interview with Bloomberg. “We now have about 5,000 customers deploying this and it’s amazing how many agents we see getting spawned.” The colorful executive who has been dubbed “The Fresh Prince of Software,” and even referred to himself as “The Taylor Swift of Tech” during the interview, also said AI is already performing up to 50% of all tasks at Salesforce. The company paid around $20 million for rights to the likeness of Albert Einstein as part of a marketing campaign for its new service Agentforce, a platform that allows firms to “build and deploy AI agents at scale.”
