Technologies of 2025: how AI and cybersecurity will affect the world
Kyiv • UNN
In 2025, artificial intelligence will become more specialized and focused on specific business tasks. Cybersecurity will evolve due to new threats, and companies will reconsider their approaches to cloud technologies and infrastructure.
The year 2025 promises to be a defining year for the tech industry. Based on the lessons of 2024, it will bring significant changes in the fields of artificial intelligence and cybersecurity. Forbes writes about the main trends to be expected in 2025, UNN reports.

Artificial intelligence will become more task-oriented in 2025. Businesses will start using AI to process their data to obtain more accurate results, in particular to increase efficiency and reduce costs. AI is already being actively used in such areas as healthcare, where it helps with diagnostics, manufacturing, where it predicts possible breakdowns, and finance to detect fraud.
In addition, new ethical rules for AI development are emerging to help avoid bias and misuse of the technology, which helps to build trust in it.
AI will also help automate many processes in various fields, from finance to medicine, which will save time and money.
Cybersecurity in 2025 will change as cyber threats become more serious. An important trend will be the use of AI to detect and neutralize cyberattacks in real time. This will allow faster response to threats and minimize losses. New data protection methods will also be applied that will be resistant to future technologies, such as quantum computers that can decrypt traditional encryption. Governmental organizations in different countries will tighten control over cybersecurity, which will force companies to improve their security systems.
When it comes to cloud computing, in 2025, companies will start looking for ways to reduce the cost of cloud services. While clouds will continue to be an important part of the IT strategy, more and more companies will start using multiple cloud providers at the same time to reduce the risks of being dependent on a single provider. There will also be an increase in the use of technologies that allow data to be processed closer to the point of collection (called edge computing), which is especially important for technologies such as autonomous cars or the Internet of Things.
Data center infrastructure will also undergo changes due to the increasing use of AI. To handle large amounts of data, data centers will start investing in specialized hardware, such as GPUs that are optimized for AI. In addition, the latest cooling equipment will be used to ensure energy efficiency, and some data centers may switch to alternative energy sources such as hydrogen or nuclear power.
Changes will also affect the workforce. Some jobs will disappear due to automation, while new opportunities will emerge, for example, in the areas of data analytics, AI management, or human-machine collaboration. Professionals will need to improve their skills in new technologies, such as AI, quantum computers, and cybersecurity, to remain competitive in the labor market. There will also be an increase in the number of companies returning to office-based work, although hybrid work will remain popular.
As for blockchain, although cryptocurrencies remain volatile, blockchain technology itself will find new applications. For example, it will help make supply chains more transparent and fraud-proof. It will also be important to develop blockchain systems for decentralized identification, which will allow users to have full control over their data.
In 2025, technology will continue to change not only business but also politics. For example, the United States will focus on producing important technologies domestically to reduce dependence on other countries. In addition, countries will begin to cooperate more actively in the fight against cyber threats. Technology will also be subject to new regulations, particularly in the areas of data privacy and AI ethics.
In 2025, technology will continue to transform the world, and companies that can effectively use the latest advances will have a competitive advantage.
