Artificial intelligence (AI) is poised for transformative growth in 2025, according to Gege Gatt, Founder and CEO of EBO.ai and a leading voice in the AI field.

As the man behind what is arguably Malta’s most successful company in the emergent space, his predictions, shared with his network on social media, shine a light on the trends, developments and applications likely to be part of the AI conversation throughout the year ahead.

Here’s a closer look at Mr Gatt’s predictions, which highlight key advancements and their implications across various sectors.

For example, the AI expert envisions a future where AI systems evolve from standalone models to collaborative agents, each specialising in different domains. This collaboration will enable AI to tackle complex challenges more effectively. “The concept of a ‘Virtual Lab,’ where AI agents collaborate under human guidance, has already demonstrated success in designing new nanobodies effective against SARS-CoV-2 variants,” he said.

Mr Gatt also believes that the integration of AI into healthcare will deepen, enhancing diagnostics, patient care, and operational efficiency. “Machine learning algorithms will will process extensive clinical data, aiding in early disease detection and personalised treatment plans,” he noted, highlighting AI’s potential to revolutionise patient outcomes.

Another sector set to undergo rapid change is digital content creation, where AI can now generate coherent video sequences from text prompts. Tools like OpenAI’s Sora and Meta’s Make-A-Video are paving the way for seamless visual storytelling. “Newsrooms will leverage AI for content creation, fact-checking and audience engagement,” said Mr Gatt, emphasising the profound impact on media and marketing industries.

With rapid AI advancements comes the need for robust regulatory frameworks. “ The EU AI Act will become a key area of regulatory focus for most companies,” Mr Gatt stated. He expects a stronger emphasis on responsible AI usage and ethical considerations across industries.

AI will play an even more significant role in accelerating scientific breakthroughs, accelerating discoveries in fields like drug development and materials science. “The ability of AI to analyse vast datasets will facilitate more breakthroughs in rapid advancements of medical treatments and enhanced battery technologies,” said Mr Gatt, pointing to the game-changing potential in research and development.

Interestingly, he also believes that AI-driven models will significantly improve weather predictions. “Initiatives like Google’s GenCast are leading this effort, aiming to improve preparedness for weather-related events and mitigate potential impacts,” Mr Gatt predicted, underlining AI’s potential to help humans be ready for natural disasters.

Meanwhile, the use of AI in self-driving vehicles is also likely to expand in 2025, according to Mr Gatt. This innovation is expected to reduce traffic incidents and change transportation landscapes.

Finally, he shares his believe that AI will revolutionise political campaigns and voter engagement. “Campaigns will utilise AI-driven predictive modelling to identify potential swing voters within demographic clusters, allowing for targeted outreach efforts to sway undecided voters in key regions,” Mr Gatt explained. Additionally, automated content creation will facilitate personalised voter engagement at scale, reshaping modern political strategies.

These predictions paint a vivid picture of AI’s rapidly evolving influence across industries. As Mr Gatt emphasised, the opportunities and challenges ahead demand thoughtful innovation and ethical implementation.

The coming years will likely see AI becoming an indispensable tool in solving some of humanity’s most pressing problems – and 2025 may be the year we see that expectation start to yield results.
