Lately, every year has been a dramatic year for personal tech.
In 2025, expect focus to shift from AI to artificial general intelligence (AGI; scan the QR code above for a quick primer on the key differences). Also expect: Al-driven personal computers, greater intersections of tech and mobility, and updates in India's digital payments ecosystem.
Rapid action
AI will evolve rapidly through 2025. Expect to hear about developments centred on AGI (which will be smarter than humans, if it comes to pass, and will apparently make ChatGPT seem rudimentary; really, scan the QR code -- it's quite fascinating).
Meanwhile, regular AI will make more indirect inroads into lives. It will seep more deeply into online shopping, for instance, to offer a more-customised experience. It will make inroads into search, navigation, logistics.
"We're leveraging generative AI to create a unique homepage for every shopper," said
Balu Chaturvedula, senior vice-president and country head at Walmart Global Tech.
This leaves us with the question: Can users and businesses keep pace well enough to safely embrace this influx?
