2025 Game Changers

January 22, 2025

Some splendid tech trends are going on. A research paper, 2025 Game Changers, was published by one of the news sources I follow - CB Insights https://www.cbinsights.com/newsletter/. It was first published in September 2024 and listed again in January 2025. If you missed either, here are some of their insights for game changers in 2025.

1.    AI weather prediction

2.    Ultra-deep drilling

3.    AI agent marketplaces

4.    Advanced nuclear propulsion

5.    Biocomputing

6.    Brain manipulation tech

7.    Quantum-optimized portfolio

8.    Cellular & epigenetic reprograming

9.    GPS-less navigation systems 


AI Weather Prediction

Both local and global extreme weather may be more predictable with AI models. The World Economic Forum identified the #1 long-term global risk over the next 10 years to be extreme weather events. AI models are improving and may supplement or replace traditional physics-based models. 

AI Agent Marketplaces

AI agents will likely become “plug and play” and interface with both internal and external agents of a company or organization. Simply, an AI agent is a software program that uses AI to perform its designated task or activity. An agent might be using sensors to gather data, use its knowledge to make a decision, or provide information when asked a question/prompt. 

Brain Manipulation Tech

Research is underway to develop brain-computer interfaces/devices that will enable communication between the brain and an external device/computer. AI will work on the interpretation of brain signals. This technology could help motor-impaired patients. It may lead to the ability to learn more about how the brain operates with depression, ADHD, and more. 

GPS-less navigation systems 

We generally take the benefits of GPS for granted, in many everyday activities. There is an increase threat to malicious interfacing with this technology. So researchers are working on alternatives. New systems are AltPNT – Alternative Positioning, Navigation, & Timing. A few options include 1) alternative space-based – commercial satellites at lower orbits than those uses for GPS, 2) Non-radio frequency system, such as magnetic, and 3) multi-sensor fusion which includes integration of several sources such as lidar and cellular systems.
