AI Bingo: My Wild Predictions for 2025
Buckle Up for a Year of Game-Changing Innovation and More Than a Few Surprise
2025: The Year AI Gets Real (and a Little Weird)
Happy New Year! I don't know about you, but I've been spending a lot of time lately thinking about what 2025 will bring. After countless hours reading, researching, and chatting with some brilliant minds in the field, I've put together an AI Predictions BINGO card for 2025. It's a bit of a wild ride, so buckle up!
From Hollywood to Your Playlist: AI's Creative Explosion
One thing's for sure: 2025 is going to be the year AI goes fully mainstream in arts and entertainment. We're not just talking about quirky experiments anymore. Think chart-topping AI-generated songs, award-winning AI art, and maybe even an AI getting a blockbuster movie credit. Multimodal use cases will be everywhere, creating experiences we can't even imagine yet. Picture an infinite AI-powered game that evolves based on your choices or a completely new entertainment format unlocked by AI. The possibilities are, well, infinite!
Beyond the Hype: Agents, Inference, and a Whole Lot of Questions
While the foundation models will keep getting better, there will be an important pivot. We're going to see a big shift towards inference-time reasoning. In other words, how can we make AI models smarter and more efficient at the moment they're actually being used?
And that brings us to... agents. Lots and lots of agents. These AI "workers" will start taking over tasks in the workplace (we’re already seeing it in customer service), but they'll also fundamentally change how we build software. Imagine AI-native development tools, and applications designed around "Agent Architectures." It's a whole new paradigm.
Hardware's Comeback and a Few Bold Bets
I'm also betting big on hardware in 2025. Think AI-powered glasses that unlock a new level of interaction with the world around us and maybe even humanoid robots finally becoming a normal part of our lives. It's not just about the software anymore! And to keep things interesting, I'm doubling down on my 2024 prediction about leadership shakeups. Remember Ilya leaving OpenAI? Well, my 2025 bet is that we'll see Mustafa Suleyman make his exit from Microsoft.
Here's the final list for my 2025 AI Predictions BINGO card:

As exciting as all of this is, it's important to remember that we're all still figuring this out. There are still way more questions than answers. But that's what makes it so fascinating, right? 2025 is going to be a year of exploration, experimentation, and maybe a few surprises along the way. Let the games begin!
