In the video clip below from a recent episode of The AI Investor Podcast from 24/7 Wall St., the team discusses the biggest trends to watch in the coming year.
As we approach 2025, anticipation is building around the significant advancements in artificial intelligence. One of the most pivotal developments is the launch of Blackwell, NVIDIA’s next-generation GPU architecture. Blackwell is set to be a game-changer, offering a substantial leap in computational power that will enable more sophisticated AI models and applications. Early benchmarks indicate a performance increase of up to 3.7 times compared to its predecessor, the H100 GPU, with only a modest increase in cost.
This exponential growth in processing capability is poised to break current limitations in data centers, particularly in scaling GPU clusters beyond 100,000 units. The enhanced performance of Blackwell will not only impact NVIDIA but will have cascading effects across the entire AI industry, catalyzing advancements in networking, switches, and optics that are essential for large-scale AI operations.
Another major trend to watch in 2025 is the emergence and mainstream adoption of AI agents. These are autonomous AI systems capable of making decisions and performing tasks without human intervention. While the concept has been primarily theoretical until now, developments suggest that AI agents will soon play a significant role in various industries.
For instance, companies like Apple and Amazon could leverage AI agents to revolutionize customer service, offering personalized and efficient interactions that surpass current chatbot capabilities.
This shift could redefine consumer hardware and software, necessitating a complete overhaul of how these systems are designed and function. The transformation is comparable to the early 2000s when companies began integrating the internet into every aspect of their operations.
As AI agents demonstrate advanced reasoning and autonomy, they are expected to trigger a “ChatGPT moment,” capturing public imagination and driving widespread adoption. This evolution will not only enhance user experiences but also open new avenues for businesses to engage with customers, streamline operations, and innovate their service offerings.
