In 2025, AI is set to evolve with several notable trends. First, generative virtual worlds, or video games, are on the rise. Google DeepMind’s Genie 2 can transform a single image into an entire interactive virtual world. Startups like Decart and Etched are also exploring this technology, with World Labs developing large world models for applications in gaming and robotics training. Second, AI models are adopting a step-by-step reasoning approach, enhancing accuracy in problem-solving. OpenAI’s o3 model exemplifies this, breaking down complex tasks into simpler steps. Google DeepMind’s Mariner agent demonstrated this by navigating a web-browsing task. Third, AI’s role in scientific discovery is expanding. The Nobel Prize in Chemistry was awarded for AI tools like AlphaFold, and new datasets like LeMaterial aim to accelerate materials research. Fourth, AI’s integration into defense and national security is growing, with companies like OpenAI partnering with defense firms, driven by lucrative contracts. Finally, the AI chip market might see new competitors challenging Nvidia’s dominance, with companies like Amazon, Broadcom, and AMD investing in new chip technologies. The geopolitical chip war continues, with potential impacts on Taiwan’s semiconductor industry due to proposed tariffs and export controls.
