We can expect 12 AI trends to lead us towards 2025 and beyond
Subscribe to enjoy similar stories. As OpenAI and Google joust this December, with the former’s 12 Days of Innovation challenge, and the latter countering it with its Gemini 2 AI model, I look beyond these skirmishes to predict my Twelve Trends for AI going into 2025 and beyond. I will describe them over three columns.
Each of these has a theme, and today’s four predictions are around how humans and AI will draw closer to each other—in work, life and relationships. Prediction One of Twelve—English is the new coding: As our generation was growing up, we were told that learning English was the passport to success. We did that and were arguably successful in our careers and businesses.
Our children in turn are told that learning how to code is the passport to success, thus coding is the new English. This led to 10-year-olds being dragged to code camps to learn Python and JavaScript. With Generative AI, this changes: Every time we write an English prompt for ChatGPT or any of its ilk, we are actually ‘coding: i.e., giving it a set of instructions to perform some task for us, whether it’s a summarization, video-creation or a write-up.
Except that now we are doing it in our natural human language rather than the language of the machine. This is profound, as it has the potential to democratize coding and make eight billion of us code. Microsoft’s Satya Nadella declaimed that instead of learning the machine’s language, machines would have to learn ours.
Jensen Huang of Nvidia joined the chorus saying that the true potential of AI is that none of us would have to learn how to code. Thus, English, or any other natural language, becomes the new coding language. Prediction Two of Twelve—AI is the new UI: AI will become the new user
