AI Everywhere!*

AI everywhere is one of the most recent IDC predictions for 2025 and, somehow, an expected one.

The AI “boom” will continue, and according to 国际数据公司 , big corporations will allocate 40% of their IT investments to AI-related initiatives in 2025.

AI's influence is not just a trend but a transformative force that will reshape industries and reinvent business models.

In 2024, the market reacted to GenAI. Tech manufacturers rushed to incorporate AI features into their products and solutions. There are copilots, AI agents, and Virtual AI assistants everywhere!

Every piece of software, from CRM to e-learning platforms, has some kind of AI embedded nowadays!

After the rush and massification, governance will follow.

For 2025, the biggest challenge for corporations and IT executives will be AI governance and how to take the most out of this technology.

AI Sprawl is here, and it can generate new forms of tech debt.

Looking beyond governance, 2025 is poised to be the year of AI agents.

These increasingly sophisticated intelligent agents will revolutionize several industries, streamlining decision-making processes and even enabling fully automated operations in some cases. In the software development industry, AI agents that can generate code independently will significantly boost capacity and efficiency.

Last?but not least, the combination of GenAI and Low-Code looks pretty promising! It will revolutionize the industry and IT role, placing technology even more at the center of every business.

On the one hand, it will ease how business-critical applications are built, making it even faster. On the other hand, it will allow us?to capitalize on the data potential, automate data gathering processes, boost data usage, and leverage real-time analytics, predictive analytics, or anomaly detection use cases across the board.
