CIO: 12 AI predictions for 2025

By 2025, AI will expand from pilot programs to enterprise-wide deployments, with generative AI leading the charge. Many companies are already seeing significant ROI, prompting widespread adoption and integration into software products. Alongside this growth, new AI types are emerging, such as agentic, multi-modal, reasoning, and open-source AI. Multi-modal routing, which uses multiple large language models (LLMs) for different tasks, is gaining traction as businesses aim to reduce risks, improve performance, and avoid vendor lock-in.
