Artificial Intelligence: Global Scenario and Perspectives for 2025

Over the past 24 hours, a series of analyses and predictions about Artificial Intelligence have emerged on the global scene, painting a fascinating picture of the near future of this technology that is transforming our society. As someone who closely follows technological developments and their impacts, I will share an in-depth analysis of the main highlights and their implications.

Elections and Disinformation: Lessons Learned

One of the most relevant topics, reported by Al Jazeera, was the impact of AI on the 2024 US elections. Contrary to alarmist predictions, the influence of AI was more contained than expected, largely due to the rapid regulatory response in 16 states. In my experience working on public policy at Dynamo, I learned that effective regulation needs to strike a balance between innovation and social protection – which is exactly what we saw happen in this case.

Expansion of Use Cases in 2025

According to Fast Company, we are about to see an explosion in AI use cases beyond generative applications, especially in sectors such as healthcare, military, and cybersecurity. This trend reinforces something I have always argued: the true revolution of AI lies in its ability to solve complex, real-world problems.

Financial Market Movements

The financial market is particularly optimistic about the AI sector for 2025. Business Insider highlights specific opportunities in healthcare, cybersecurity and fintech. As an accelerator founder and investor, I can say that this is a critical moment for startups that know how to take advantage of these investment waves.

Regulation and Governance

We see important movements on the regulatory front, with states like Connecticut resuming discussions on AI reforms, as reported by Hartford CourantMaine has also established a dedicated AI task force, following a trend I’ve seen across several governments.

Infrastructure and Semiconductors

The semiconductor market continues to be buoyant, with players such as TSMC and Micron strategically positioning themselves for the growth in demand for AI infrastructure. This is a trend I have been following closely since my experience in corporate innovation – infrastructure is the fundamental foundation for any technological advancement.

Reflections and Conclusions

The current AI landscape reflects a growing maturity of the industry. We are seeing a transition from the hype phase to practical and impactful implementations, something I have always advocated in my speaking and consulting sessions. The combination of responsible regulation, strategic investment, and practical use cases is creating an environment that is ripe for meaningful innovation.

As an educator and entrepreneur in the technology sector, I see 2025 as a decisive year for AI. It is the time to prepare talent, adapt strategies and, most importantly, ensure that this technology is developed in an ethical and inclusive way.
