Top 10 Predictions for 2025
Since ChatGPT was released, massive changes have been made in the industry and, thereby, worldwide every year.
As the year ends, we are covering what I believe will be the ten most significant events in 2025. We will cover three areas: technology, markets, and products, providing a rich overview of what’s to come.
From the emergence of intelligence efficiency, stocks, and the US escalating the AI Cold War with China with new methods after China’s recent groundbreaking achievement (absolutely terrible to the interests of both the US as a whole and, particularly, NVIDIA), a new AI system that could be the future of robotics, and ending with a commitment I’m doing to you to transform your life completely next year.
Let’s dive in.
Technology
Over the last months, we feared AI progress was stagnating. But those fears have been quickly erased over the previous few weeks. Next year, we will experience the biggest changes in our lives caused by AI: the year AI transitions from projections to reality.
The First Big Discovery
One of my biggest claims is that AI’s true discovery powers are yet to be seen. While everyone looks at ChatGPT, the real disruption will come from AI’s acceleration of scientific discovery.
In particular, I’m adamant that AI will accelerate scientific discovery like nothing we’ve ever seen, and I believe this big prediction will become a reality next year.
So far, AI has:
Helped us discover new antibiotics
Accelerated the discovery of new materials
Shown great promise in accelerating inventions
Rediscovered the laws of gravity
And many, many more. But this is nothing to what’s coming. The last few months have seen the emergence of a new AI foundation that will shape what’s to come. Everyone is talking about Large Reasoner Models (LRMs), but other crucial insights will also play a role, like:
state-space models like Mamba or Liquid Foundation Models, which allow for more efficient implementations of LLMs/LRMs,
graph-based reasoning models, which transform knowledge into graphs, facilitating models like ChatGPT to process this data much more efficiently, even using Beethoven music or a Kandinsky paint to discover new materials through isomorphisms,
And all this added to the release of several giga datasets like The Well, which provide researchers with insane amounts of new data to take AI models to new heights.
All in all, our capacity to process vast amounts of data and find new hidden patterns introduces a new, superhuman way of discovery, inductive scientific discovery (finding new laws based on big data), instead of the centuries-old deductive scientific discovery process (experimental scientific discovery, from hypothesized laws to proof based on small data, which takes much longer and requires genius intuition by a select few) is finally within our reach in 2025.
Scientific discovery makes industries much more efficient and enables humanity’s progress. Finally, this disruption's incentives and practicality are aligned for 2025, so we will see our first truly remarkable AI discovery, even leading to new…
