2025 is the "first year of AI agents"! Summary of the Frontiers of Evolution

1. Autonomous AI agents are becoming the norm

2025 is truly the "first year of AI agents".
From conventional assistants such as ChatGPT, AI that can autonomously plan and execute goals is emerging one after another.
OpenAI is developing the "ChatGPT Operator" and Microsoft is rolling out the advanced Copilot feature.

2. Practical application of multimodal AI

AI that understands and generates not only text but also images, audio, and video at the same time is rapidly spreading.
Google's "Gemini 2.5 Pro" and OpenAI's "GPT-4o" can automatically generate materials from images and summarize videos.
Pinterest and design services also use multimodal AI content suggestions.

3. Evolving into "thinking AI"

"Thinking AI" that performs not only generation but also logical thinking is on the rise.
A new model that utilizes Chain-of-Thought supports scientific verification and legal review.
OpenAI's new model "O1" is also attracting attention for its design that enables advanced reasoning.

4. Future prospects and precautions

In the future, robots, quantum cryptography, edge AI, etc. will also emerge.
On the other hand, there are also concerns about "model collapse" (a phenomenon in which performance deteriorates as AI learns only AI output), reaffirming the importance of human verification and correction.

Conclusion

2025 is the year when AI evolves from a "tool to use" to a "companion that moves together".
At Imidef Blog, we will be one of the first to respond to these changes and continue to disseminate usable AI now.
