Twelve tech trends to watch in 2025: The dawn of the convergence era
Individual breakthroughs are being integrated into complex developments that will reshape the digital landscape in the coming years
A new era is upon us. The most promising technological advancements — such as neural networks, generative artificial intelligence (AI), quantum computing, supercomputers, robotics, and the digitalization of the physical world — have thus far remained relatively isolated, each following its own distinct roadmap. However, the time has come for these breakthroughs to merge in broad ecosystems. “In the next five years, we are going to see the convergence of all technologies,” warns Stephen Ibaraki, founder of AI For Good. AI is no longer the star actor but rather a member of an ensemble cast in this new movie.
