We used Google’s AI to analyze 188 predictions of what’s in store for tech in 2025

At this time of year investment banks, advertising agencies, and seemingly every other business on the planet share their predictions on what is likely to unfold in the next 12 months. Journalists’ inboxes sag under the weight of unsolicited predictions for the year ahead.

But separating the wheat from the chaff when it comes to forecasts of the year ahead can be tricky.

Use a technology that has come into its own in 2024—generative artificial intelligence—may help. Noteb

I tried out 3 media outlets’ AI chatbots. Here’s what happened

Andrew Ng is betting big on agentic AI

Andrew Ng came up with a theory almost 15 years ago: What if Google, the internet giant, thought of machines like the brain and trained neural networks on mass amounts of data using computational power in an attempt to lead to artificial general intelligence?
