CB Insights’ latest report highlights 15 tech trends set to define 2025, but today, we’re zooming in on one game-changer: AI. These AI breakthroughs aren’t just futuristic—they’re happening now.
Key takeaways:
Proactive Disease Detection: AI's ability to detect diseases early—sometimes before symptoms even appear—has completely changed the game. Early detection means better outcomes for patients and dramatically lower costs for healthcare systems.
Generative AI in Marketing: AI’s ability to craft personalized marketing campaigns is boosting conversions like never before. Businesses can now engage customers more effectively and see results faster.
Personalized Learning Paths: AI makes learning truly personal by adapting content to each learner’s style. This approach improves outcomes and makes education more inclusive.
Smart Cities: AI is optimizing urban living with smart traffic systems and energy management. The result? Cities are safer, greener, and far more efficient.
Secure integration with systems: Features like digital "AgentID" ensure they can log in and work without risking your data. Companies like Stripe and Coinbase are giving these agents tools to work with crypto and other payment methods.
Why it matters: Just like smartphones changed how we communicate, AI agents are set to revolutionize how we work and live. By 2025, they won’t just assist us—they’ll handle tasks we never imagined possible for a machine. The question isn’t if these changes will happen—it’s how quickly we’ll adapt.

AI CHART
Data centers’ electricity demand is not just a minor uptick—it’s a seismic shift. From 2019 to 2023, global data centers’ electricity usage surged 72%, largely driven by AI adoption. By 2027, that demand could double and account for 2.6% of total global electricity use, up from today’s 1.4%.
But here’s where it gets tricky: What happens after 2027?
Predictions get murky, and for good reason. Future demand will hinge on a few key factors:
Generative AI adoption: The pace at which businesses and individuals embrace these tools.
Regulations: Policies that govern energy consumption and data center operations.
Supply chain resilience: Whether data center infrastructure can keep up with rapid growth.
Emerging energy tech: Breakthroughs that could change how we power these centers.
The big takeaway? We’re on the cusp of a new era in energy consumption, where AI doesn’t just demand innovation—it drives it.
