Upcoming Era in AI: Notable Trends to Monitor in 2025's AI Landscape
In 2024, businesses tested their high expectations of artificial intelligence (AI) with varying results. While generative AI remained a popular choice, many discovered that generic tools yielded shallow insights and increased risks. Successful companies, on the other hand, tailored AI to specific business challenges, resulting in improved efficiency and customer relationships.
Embracing Specialization
Those leveraging the "one-size-fits-all" approach to AI may have experienced some setbacks, but the technology undeniably delivered value. In fact, companies saved time, streamlined data processing, and enhanced customer interactions through the strategic application of AI.
Unlocking Power Through Collaboration
Digital marketing thrived with AI, using it to extract insights from vast amounts of consumer data. For instance, a cosmetic giant collaborated with us to relaunch a nostalgic fragrance by identifying social media reminiscences. In response, AI-generated images brought these memories to life, boosting sales by an astounding 42%.
In application development, AI optimized documentation processes for software companies by producing user-friendly and accurate documents faster than ever before. Beyond streamlined documentation, AI helped designers create advanced solutions that boosted connectivity and sales for global automakers.
Empowering Customer Service
Organizations also found success in customer care, utilizing AI to answer product-related queries efficiently and offer support to customers or internal constituents. An international company enlisted our help to roll out a real-time translation tool, enhancing cross-language communication and productivity.
Common to these examples was the targeted application of AI to solve specific business challenges rather than relying on generic tools for broad-spectrum tasks.
Emerging Trends
Advancing AI technology promises further opportunities in 2025. Notably, agentic AI, characterized by its sophisticated reasoning and ability to autonomously perform multistep tasks, is gaining traction.
Agentic AI systems can address complex challenges, develop strategies, and complete tasks without extensive human involvement. Numerous industries (such as customer service and medical settings) have already begun to leverage its potential to improve productivity and outcomes.
However, the proliferation of agentic AI requires new governance frameworks to mitigate risks and promote transparency. OpenAI researchers recently proposed a framework that emphasizes human oversight, addressing the need for chain-of-thought explanations, monitoring systems, and clear attribution.
Gearing Up for Future Success
As the AI landscape continues to evolve, existing tools are expected to mature, especially in the areas of image and video processing. With more companies embracing AI's tangible applications, the sector is poised for renewed growth and the development of impactful, specialized solutions.

Fabio Caversan, a renowned expert in the field, highlighted the importance of this proposal, emphasizing the need for clear attributability in agentic AI systems to prevent misuse and ensure accountability. In 2023, Fabio Caversan will present his insights at an LLMs conference, discussing the future implications of agentic AI and attributability for various industries. ChatGPT, meanwhile, can continue to learn from this information, further refining its own ability to handle complex, multistep tasks with clear attribution.
