1. Global AI Action Summit in Paris
In February 2025, the AI Action Summit brought together leaders from over 100 countries. The EU launched the InvestAI initiative with €200B in funding, while private investors committed an additional €110B. Key collaborations included Mistral AI and Helsing, emphasizing AI for defense and secure infrastructure.
2. The Trillion-Dollar AI Infrastructure Race
Tech giants are investing at record levels: Google ($85B), Amazon ($100B), and Meta ($72B). Meta is building ultra-large-scale data centers—Prometheus and Hyperion—comparable in size to Manhattan, aimed at achieving AI supremacy and general intelligence.
3. Meta Introduces the Era of “Personal Superintelligence”
On July 30, Mark Zuckerberg unveiled Meta’s vision of AI-powered personal assistants that enhance creativity and productivity. Meta also showcased next-gen wearables, including floating display AR glasses (Orion), made in collaboration with Ray-Ban.
4. China Accelerates AI Independence
Chinese tech firms like Huawei, SenseTime, and StepFun formed strategic alliances to build a self-sufficient AI ecosystem. Highlights included the CloudMatrix 384 chip architecture and Tencent’s advanced 3D generative models and Quark AI Glasses.
5. Apple WWDC 2025: Liquid Glass, visionOS 26, and Spatial AI
At WWDC 2025, Apple introduced a new interface philosophy — Liquid Glass — across iOS 26, macOS Tahoe, and visionOS 26. AI-powered features include real-time translation, auto-organizing notes, and immersive spatial UX designed for Vision Pro devices.
6. AI Agents Enter the Third Generation
AI dev tools have evolved from autocomplete to full pipeline automation. Platforms like Claude 4 and Zencoder Agents now handle everything from coding and debugging to testing and deployment. The rise of autonomous software engineering is underway.
7. Spatial + Artificial Intelligence Merge in XR
A major trend is the convergence of AI and Spatial Computing. Adaptive XR systems now respond dynamically to physical environments, thanks to AI-enhanced perception, unlocking new levels of immersion in AR/VR/MR.
8. 2025 Declared the International Year of Quantum Tech
The United Nations officially named 2025 the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology. Global initiatives led by Microsoft and Google Quantum aim to raise awareness and adoption of quantum computing for cybersecurity, modeling, and logistics.
9. Autonomous Vehicles Near Full Autonomy
Level 4–5 autonomy is now within reach. Honda and BMW announced vision-based vehicle systems, while Japan’s Woven City (by Toyota) began integrating V2X and satellite networks. Full self-driving mobility is entering early-stage deployment.
10. AI-Driven Cyber Threats Surge
AI is now being used in ransomware operations targeting cloud infrastructure. Attackers deploy chatbots for psychological pressure during ransom negotiations. In response, startups like Nebulock are introducing AI-powered real-time security systems.
