Tech Trends 2025

High stakes. Exponential rewards.

The AI revolution accelerates, the quantum explosion looms

The promised potential of AI and quantum technologies has been touted for decades, but the actualization of those promises has never been closer than it is now.

The transformative capabilities of these exponential technologies are becoming more real each day – early understanding and adoption of these technologies is key for mature IT organizations forging future strategies.

In this year’s Tech Trends report, we examine three trends in simulated futures with new possibilities and three trends in knowledge assurance that must be considered to mitigate risks.

Big risks. Bigger opportunities. Six tech trends to watch in 2025.

Exponential AI: AI will accelerate into more aspects of the organization's operations.

Trend #1
Expert Models: Create advantage with specialized AI training

Trend #2
AI Sovereignty: Maintain control while harnessing AI

Pre-Quantum Foundations: Quantum computing promises great opportunities but brings a clear new threat.

Trend #3
Quantum Advantage: From quantum utility in the cloud to true advantage

Trend #4
Post-Quantum Cryptography: Migrate to quantum-resistant encryption

Digital Humans: Digital simulations will mimic humans in text, audio, and visual channels.

Trend #5
AI Avatars: Simulate human interaction across channels

Trend #6
Deepfake Defense: Counter AI-powered attacks
