AI in 2025: From Restaurant Reservations to Cutoff Grades, How Artificial Intelligence Is Changing Everything

The AI Revolution Has Arrived and Is Transforming Our Daily Lives

Hello, everyone! Felipe Matos here. Today we’re going to dive into a topic that is literally redefining the world around us: Artificial Intelligence in 2025. As an entrepreneur and technology expert, I’ve been following this revolution closely, and I can say with certainty: the future has arrived faster than we expected.

OpenAI’s Operator: Your Super-Powerful Virtual Assistant

Just imagine: OpenAI has just launched Operator in Brazil, an AI capable of browsing the internet and performing tasks as if it were you. Booking restaurants, shopping online, filling out forms… all of this simulating the use of a mouse and keyboard as a human would. It’s like having a tireless personal assistant 24/7!

But here’s a piece of advice from someone who’s seen a lot of things in the startup world: with great power comes great responsibility. It’s crucial that we think about the ethical and privacy implications of these technologies. In my experience mentoring thousands of entrepreneurs, I always emphasize the importance of innovating responsibly.

AI Overtaking Medicine? The New Reality of Universities

Now, get ready for this: at the Federal University of Goiás, the cutoff grade for the Artificial Intelligence course has surpassed that of Medicine! From 751.93 in 2020 to 811.01 in 2025. This is not just a number, it is a clear sign of a paradigm shift in the job market and education.

As the founder of Sirius, the first neo-university in Latin America focused on technology, I can tell you: we are just at the beginning of this transformation. The demand for AI professionals is exploding, and those who prepare now will be ahead of the game.

The Beta Generation: Born into the Age of AI

A fascinating study by Kantar Ibope Media revealed that the beta generation, children born from 2025 onwards, will not know a world without generative AI. For 88% of those interviewed, advanced technology is valued at home. We are creating a generation that will have AI as a natural extension of their capabilities.

This reminds me a lot of what we discussed at Abstartups and the Dínamo association about the future of entrepreneurship. Startups that know how to take advantage of this innate familiarity with AI will have an incredible competitive advantage.

The Ethical Dilemma: Meta and the Use of Pirated Books

Not everything is rosy in the world of AI. Meta has admitted to downloading 81.7TB of books via BitTorrent to train its AI models. This raises serious questions about intellectual property and ethics in AI development.

As an entrepreneur who has been involved in public policy, such as the Start-Up Brasil program, I know that we urgently need a regulatory framework that balances innovation and ethics. It is a complex challenge, but necessary for the healthy development of the AI ecosystem.

Is the Future Open Source? DeepSeek Bets Yes

Chinese startup DeepSeek is about to open-source its AI models. This is revolutionary! It’s reminiscent of the early open source software movement that transformed the tech industry.

In my experience as an angel investor and startup mentor, I have always encouraged collaboration and knowledge sharing. Open source could be the catalyst we need to democratize access to advanced AI.

Conclusion: Preparing for the Future of AI

AI is no longer the distant future – it is our present. From classrooms to businesses, from medicine to art, it is redefining how we live and work. As entrepreneurs, educators and citizens, we have a responsibility to shape this future in ethical and inclusive ways.

In my lectures and consulting sessions, I always emphasize the importance of staying up-to-date and adaptable. AI is creating immense opportunities for those who are prepared. And that is why, in my mentoring programs for startups and companies, I focus on how to use AI strategically to increase productivity, efficiency and profitability.

Remember: the future is not something that just happens to us. We build it with our choices and actions. Let’s embrace this AI revolution with wisdom, ethics, and a dash of entrepreneurial boldness!
