7. AI with Reasoning Capabilities Will Be Less Predictable, Says Ilya Sutskever
Renowned AI researcher and former OpenAI chief scientist, Ilya Sutskever, recently shared his insights into the future of artificial intelligence, predicting that reasoning capabilities will make AI systems far less predictable. His remarks were made while accepting the “Test of Time” award for his influential 2014 paper co-authored with Oriol Vinyals and Quoc Le of Google.
The Limits of Pre-Training
Reflecting on a decade of advancements, Sutskever highlighted the transformative impact of scaling data and compute power in AI development. This approach led to breakthroughs like OpenAI’s ChatGPT, launched in 2022 to widespread acclaim. However, he cautioned that the era of pre-training as we currently understand it is nearing its end.
“Compute is growing,” he said at the NeurIPS conference in Vancouver, “but the data is not growing because we have but one internet.” As the pool of readily available training data becomes exhausted, AI developers will need to innovate beyond current methods.

As the world races towards 2025, Developer examines what lies ahead for software development in the new year.
Among the most pressing trends for 2025 are AI development simplification, the integration of cross-functional engineering teams, and the evolution of DevSecOps practices. These shifts promise to redefine how companies approach innovation, security, and efficiency in their development pipelines.
GitHub has announced a free tier of GitHub Copilot to expand the platform’s reach to more developers.
“We couldn’t be more excited to make Copilot available to the 150M developers on GitHub,” Thomas Dohmke, CEO of GitHub, wrote in a post.
Google has announced its new 105-qubit superconducting chip, code-named Willow, which solved a quantum supremacy experiment that would take at least 300 million years to simulate on a classical computer. More importantly, the chip shows how quantum hardware may achieve fault tolerance in such a way to seemingly unleash its scalability.
