Notable projects such as Virtuals Protocol, Artificial Superintelligence Alliance, and ai16z are driving this expansion. One project, VIRTUALS, saw significant activity after its launch in early 2023, surging by over 9,190% in November.
https://bitcoinist.com/ai-agent-tokens-surge-could-outperform-meme-coins/Carmi Levy, a writer and technology expert, predicts that agentic AI will be the next major innovation by 2025. Agentic AI is a type of artificial intelligence program that can perform tasks on computers and smartphones, such as opening browsers, new tabs, and downloading apps. According to Levy, this technology has the potential to revolutionize the way people interact with their devices.
https://www.ctvnews.ca/sci-tech/the-next-big-thing-in-ai-in-2025-according-to-one-tech-analyst-1.7162325At Houston Methodist health system, robots used to perform tasks such as checking fire extinguishers and delivering towels were found to be confused by elevators and often bumped into objects. To address this issue, researchers are turning to generative AI to improve the dexterity of robotics that work alongside people. For example, Brain Corp's Pinn noted that training robots with massive data sets can help them achieve dexterity that was previously only achievable through human labor. This is in line with a new AI system called PRoC3S developed by researchers at MIT, which combines language models with computer vision and tests actions in a virtual environment to improve the performance of warehouse robots. The system has been shown to complete tasks such as drawing shapes and sorting blocks with 80% accuracy during lab tests.
https://www.pymnts.com/technology/2024/will-robots-take-on-more-public-facing-roles-in-2025/In 2023, the focus on artificial intelligence (AI) was centered around its potential, but in 2024, the emphasis shifted to making AI useful without overspending. According to Arvind Narayanan, a computer science professor at Princeton University and co-author of "AI Snake Oil", there was a move from developing models to creating practical products.

He believes that businesses which fail to capitalise on AI's economic potential will be left behind by those who adopt it early. McDermott likened the advent of AI to Steve Jobs introducing the iPhone, suggesting its impact could be similarly transformative.
