The 10 Biggest AI Trends Of 2025 Everyone Must Be Ready For Today

It is no secret that artificial intelligence (AI) has taken over our technological space. From boardrooms to classrooms to our own living rooms, it’s only going to continue to become more deeply interwoven in our personal and professional lives. Strategic business & technology advisor Bernard Marr shares an article on Forbes forecasting some of the biggest AI trends we’ll see in 2025 that everyone must be ready for right now.

1. Augmented Working. “In 2025, I predict that there will be more thoughtful consideration of how humans can work hand-in-hand with AI to augment our technical abilities while freeing up our time to apply our creative and interpersonal skills to jobs that machines still can’t manage. Rather than simply adding chatbots to everything, this will be the way smart businesses begin to generate real value from AI in the coming year.”
2. Real-Time Automated Decision-Making. “With businesses beginning to get to grips with the challenges of using AI strategically, those with more mature AI strategies will move toward end-to-end automation of entire business processes. This is likely to take place across logistics, customer support and marketing, where algorithms will make decisions such as how to manage inventory or how to respond to customer inquiries with minimal human intervention. “
3. Responsible AI. “In 2025 there will be a growing awareness of the importance of developing and deploying AI in a way that’s ethical, secure, transparent, reliable and respectful of intellectual property rights. Though some of this will be driven by legislation, there’s also a growing awareness of the harm that can be caused by the irresponsible use of AI.”
4. Generative Video. “Imagine being able to type the outline of a movie – or a short section of video, anyway – and see it brought to life in front of your eyes. Think ChatGPT but for moving images. OpenAI demonstrated proof-of-concept with its Sora model this year, and 2025 could be the year it starts to become available.”
5. Next-Gen Voice Assistants. “AI voice assistants have been a part of our lives for many years now, but their conversational capabilities have traditionally been quite limited. This year, OpenAI demonstrated a new “interruptable” advanced voice mode for ChatGPT, capable of holding a remarkably human-like conversation. In 2025, I think we will see these capabilities appearing in an ever-growing number of devices, enabling more natural and useful voice-to-voice communication.”
6. AI Legislation And Regulation. “In 2025, we can expect more regulations on AI, with a focus on prioritizing human rights and mitigating the potential for discrimination and disinformation.”
7. Autonomous AI Agents. “Most AI tools we see in use today work on the basis that they carry out simple tasks, such as generating text or interpreting data in order to make predictions. This could be seen as an important step towards achieving “general” AI that’s able to apply itself to many different types of tasks. However, it also raises complicated questions about the need for AI oversight and accountability.”
8. Navigating A Post-Truth World. “Dealing with the explosion of fake content and false news that can now be generated thanks to AI will be a major challenge for society as a whole during 2025. In 2025, I expect to see society begin to adapt to deal with this challenge. The change will be driven by governments through legislation, but also through education and at a grassroots level as we learn to become more critical of the information, we’re presented with.”
9. Quantum AI. “While still in its infancy, quantum computing – which leverages the strange properties exhibited by materials at a sub-atomic level to perform certain computational tasks at unprecedented speed – could revolutionize AI. Enabling algorithms to work at speeds hundreds of millions of times faster than is possible using standard computers won’t just make AI faster. It could also become capable of tackling entirely new tasks, opening up new possibilities in fields ranging from vaccine and medicine development to the creation of new materials and energy sources. Expect excitement to start growing around the mind-melting potential of this during 2025!”
10. AI In Cybersecurity And Defense. “Cyberattacks will continue to become increasingly frequent and sophisticated during 2025. This means that AI systems will become even more essential when it comes to detecting potential breaches, identifying anomalies, and automating cybersecurity systems to deal with threats before they cause critical damage. With a growing number of threats taking the form of phishing or social engineering attacks, chatbots will play a part by simulating phishing attacks and teaching us how to spot and avoid attempts to trick us into becoming victims.”
11. Sustainable AI. “There are two elements to this one. First, there’s a growing awareness of the huge power consumption of cloud-based AI systems, and I think we will see a concerted effort to switch to sustainable and renewable energy sources in data centers. Secondly, there’s a huge potential for AI applications designed to improve sustainability and reduce the environmental footprint of other industries. From algorithmically minimizing water and pesticide use in agriculture to more efficiently routing traffic around cities in order to reduce pollution caused by vehicle emissions, 2025 will see AI continue to establish itself as a powerful tool for environmental protection.”
