In 2025, I’d love to see a major leap in AI ethics and transparency. 

As AI becomes more integral to our lives, ensuring algorithms are explainable, unbiased, and accountable is crucial. This shift would build trust and open doors for broader applications in healthcare, education, and governance. 

For example, a transparent AI diagnosing diseases could improve patient outcomes while maintaining fairness. 

Ethical AI isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s essential for sustainable tech growth and societal acceptance.

As someone who has been immersed in the tech sector’s ever-evolving landscape, the transformation I’d most like to see in 2025 is a radical leap in decentralized cloud computing infrastructure. 

The growth of edge computing and 6G connections is very important. As 6G technology becomes more common, the delay will drop by a huge amount. This will allow real-time processing, which will make fields like healthcare and self-driving cars more efficient.

Quantum computing is another interesting new idea that could help solve hard problems. But the rise of quantum technology also brings new safety risks, so we need to start investing right away in encryption that can’t be broken by quantum computers. 

Lastly, Web3 and decentralized systems driven by blockchain could change the way technology works and how safe it is, making infrastructures more reliable and open. 

In the end, 2025 should be a big year for making tech solutions that are more safe, flexible, and long-lasting.

In 2025, I’d most like to see a significant shift toward ethical and transparent AI development. 

As AI continues to shape industries and lives, ensuring fairness, accountability, and accessibility is critical. Today’s algorithms can unintentionally amplify biases or prioritize profits over societal well-being, creating trust gaps.

Imagine a world where AI tools are not only powerful but also equitable—empowering underserved communities, offering transparent decision-making, and respecting privacy. 

For example, small businesses could use AI without fear of hidden data exploitation, and consumers could trust algorithms to act in their best interest.

This transformation would require collaboration between tech leaders, policymakers, and communities to create frameworks that balance innovation with ethics. 

As the Founder of Nerdigital.com, I believe this shift could redefine how humanity thrives in an increasingly automated world. It’s about building technology we can trust—not just use.

I’d most want to see a leap forward in the way search engines handle user intent through advancements in AI-driven contextual understanding. 

While algorithms have improved in recent years, there’s still a gap in recognising nuanced search intent, especially with complex or ambiguous queries. 

A breakthrough here would mean more relevant and precise search results, giving marketers a better chance of serving helpful content to their target audience with never before seen accuracy.

As an SEO agency, this shift could redefine how we approach keyword research and query reporting. 

This change would lead to better ROI for our clients and strengthen trust in search engine marketing as a cornerstone of their marketing activity

As a leader who’s witnessed the transformative power of tech across industries, I believe one pivotal shift I’d like to see in 2025 is an industry-wide commitment to closing the digital equity gap.

Millions of people still lack access to technology despite revolutionary breakthroughs. Imagine a society in which inexpensive gadgets and fast internet are as commonplace as flowing water. 

This is a commercial necessity as well as a moral one. A workforce that is enabled by technology fosters creativity, increases output, and opens up new markets.

For example, I witnessed directly how giving tablets to underprivileged pupils significantly enhanced learning results when working on a project with an educational organization. 

Businesses would have access to a completely new generation of individuals with digital skills if that influence were to be scaled internationally. Not only is closing the digital gap

Harrison Tang

In 2025, one of the transformations I foresee is the widespread acceptance of Artificial Intelligence (AI). I envision most businesses embracing AI as an indispensable tool, encouraging employees to leverage its capabilities while providing controlled instructions to avoid overreliance.

This shift is already underway, driven by the growing recognition of AI’s potential to augment human capabilities. Initially, people were hesitant to rely on AI, fearing they would become overly dependent on it. The mindset was, “Why become a slave to AI?” – surrendering control and autonomy to machines.

However, as AI’s benefits become more apparent, I predict a future where humans and AI collaborate in harmony. AI will handle routine and repetitive tasks, freeing humans to focus on creative problem-solving, strategic decision-making, and high-value tasks that require empathy, intuition, and emotional intelligence.

By embracing AI, businesses can enhance productivity, efficiency, and innovation, while also improving employee job satisfaction and overall well-being. 

As we navigate this transformative journey, it’s essential to establish clear guidelines, safeguards, and best practices to ensure that AI augments human capabilities without compromising our autonomy, creativity, or values.

One of his visions for 2025 is for highly individualized AI systems to be deployed on a mass scale that aren’t reactive, but predictive. A system in which the AI doesn’t just ‘go ahead and do whatever you tell it to do is a system that knows exactly what you want before you ask, like a personal assistant already prepared for the day before it starts. 

Such a transition would unify the theoretical and the practical. 

We already see glimpses of it in connected gadgetry, but in 2025 the ultimate breakthrough would be AI machines that recognize human nature with unprecedented sensitivity, from scheduling to identifying needs. 

One breakthrough might come from neurotechnology that will let AI speak directly to patterns in the brain. And that may translate to greater user involvement from mental health to productivity, without taking control. 

We can become the kind of society that, if we embrace this AI evolution, starts to feel like technology is no longer a tool but an intuitive collaborator in our lives. The assistant already prepared for the day before it started.

In 2025, I’d like to believe that we’d be getting a tech that is fundamentally designed around humans. There are so many cases of the industry becoming overly focused on features and making money while only partially meeting real user needs causing cluttered systems, or disturbing trends like digital letdown.

Think of the technology that declutters rather than complicates—something that improves concentration, is beneficial for health and self-customizes robustly. For example, intelligent PA systems would help users in deciding when to mute notifications or encourage better use of technology.

Such transition will not only be helpful to the end users but also help cultivate trust in a population that is more and more questioning the role of technology in society. 

Adopting a human-first design should not only be seen as a dream, as it’s much more than that, it is a necessary step for growth and innovation.

I’d love to see more incorporating of genAI tools to enhance the customer experience as a trend in 2025.I think next year brands will begin to think about using AI to innovate in the upcoming year. 

Incorporating genAI tools, like Freepik, allows brands to quickly and efficiently create content that is more specific and tailored to the individual consumer than ever before. 

Video content that took days and a heavy budget can now be done in a few hours. 

For brands this means you can A,B,C,D….Z test an endless amount of creative content to make sure your brand resonates like never before.

In 2025, the single innovation I would most want to witness in the tech sector is the widespread adoption of ethical AI frameworks. 

With the rapid advancement of artificial intelligence, it is crucial that we ensure these technologies are developed and deployed responsibly.

  • Why this shift? The potential for AI to impact every aspect of our lives is immense, but without ethical guidelines, we risk exacerbating existing inequalities and biases. For example, we’ve seen how AI can inadvertently reinforce stereotypes in hiring processes. Establishing robust ethical frameworks will not only foster trust but also ensure that AI benefits society as a whole.

  • What transformation do I foresee? I envision a collaborative effort between technologists, ethicists, and policymakers to create standards that govern AI usage. This could lead to innovations in
    transparency, where algorithms are not just black boxes but understandable systems that stakeholders can scrutinise. Companies could develop tools that allow users to see how decisions are made, thereby enhancing accountability.

  • Why is this important? By prioritising ethical AI, we can create a tech landscape that prioritises human values and societal benefits. This transformation would not only protect individuals but also encourage businesses to innovate responsibly, fostering a healthier tech ecosystem.

Third-party risk will dominate business continuity planning as companies rely more heavily not just on SaaS and cloud providers but also on a complex web of APIs, partner integrations, supply chains, and third-party code. 

This intricate network means that disruptions from any single vendor—or even a single integration—will have ripple effects across operations, potentially impacting entire supply chains and revenue. 

To mitigate these risks, proactive, real-time monitoring of all third-party interactions will be critical, with companies demanding full transparency and accountability on performance and recovery plans from all their critical vendors and partners.
