🚀 2025: The Year That Will Transform Our Relationship with Artificial Intelligence 🌐
This will be the year when AI evolves from a passive tool to operational agents executing complex and autonomous tasks.
The Future According to 11 AI Thought Leaders
Algoritmo Transparente opens 2025 with predictions from Antoni Esteve (Parèntesi MÈDia), Jon Hernández (AI communicator), Jordi Urbea (Ogilvy Barcelona), Anna Navarro (Member of the Catalan Parliament), Ignasi Llorente (Utopiq), Arnau Font (AI communicator), Enrique Sanjuan (AI expert), Jordi Marín (digital transformation consultant), Xantal Llavina (Catalunya Ràdio), Jordi Torres (UPC), and Karina Gibert (IDEAI-UPC). These 11 thought leaders share their visions of how artificial intelligence (AI) will shape this transformative year.
From Generative AI to Operational AI: The Rise of Intelligent Agents
"2025 will be the year of intelligent agents: systems that will not just answer questions but autonomously perform complex tasks," says Jon Hernández, an AI communicator.
Antoni Esteve, journalist and editor of Parèntesi MÈDia, calls it "the definitive leap from generative AI to operational AI." Jordi Torres, professor at UPC, concurs: "These agents will function as personal assistants, making decisions based on vast datasets, transforming sectors like healthcare, education, and commerce."
Ignasi Llorente, CEO of Utopiq, adds that AI will become an integral part of daily life: "This year, we will see AI transition from being something exotic to being as ubiquitous as email or smartphones."
Multimodal Innovations and Extreme Personalization
"2025 will see AI generating content—images, videos, texts—with unprecedented levels of authenticity," predicts Arnau Font, an AI communicator. Jordi Urbea, CEO of Ogilvy Barcelona, highlights that "multimodal tools will combine these capabilities to create immersive and personalized experiences."
Enrique Sanjuan, an AI expert, emphasizes productivity: "2025 will be the year when AI proves how it can make business tasks more efficient, from drafting reports to hosting AI-assisted meetings."
Jordi Marín, a digital transformation consultant, foresees the democratization of technology: "No-code platforms will enable entrepreneurs and small businesses to access advanced tools, leveling the playing field."
The Social and Business Impact of AI
Anna Navarro, a Member of the Catalan Parliament, underscores how AI will be integrated into everyday tasks: "It will accelerate processes in finance, translation, and coding, enhancing efficiency and saving time."
Xantal Llavina, journalist at Catalunya Ràdio, highlights the emotional integration of AI: "We’ll see assistants capable of understanding human emotions and needs, particularly in health and education sectors."
Jordi Marín stresses the importance of businesses incorporating AI into their strategies: "Organizations that do so will gain a significant competitive advantage."
Ethics and Regulation: The Key Challenges of 2025
"Ethics will be the most significant challenge," says Karina Gibert, director of IDEAI-UPC. Gibert emphasizes the need to "reframe generative AI in its proper context, avoiding exaggerations."
Xantal Llavina agrees: "The key challenge will be ensuring systems are transparent, fair, and respectful of privacy." Jordi Urbea adds: "Although AI is becoming more integrated, there is still considerable uncertainty about ensuring its balanced use."
The Year of AGI?
Arnau Font speculates that 2025 could herald the advent of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI): "Thanks to breakthroughs like the O3 model, we might be on the cusp of an AI revolution."
Regarding tools, Enrique Sanjuan highlights Microsoft’s Copilot as a leader in productivity, alongside Google’s Gemini and other niche-specific applications.
A Revolution Already Underway
"2025 will be the year when everyone realizes how directly AI impacts their lives," concludes Jon Hernández.
Antoni Esteve reinforces this notion: "It is crucial that citizens dedicate time to understanding and exploring AI to harness its potential and mitigate risks."
The balance between innovation, responsibility, and ethics will be vital to ensure that artificial intelligence transforms our lives while upholding human values. Are we ready to embrace this change?
