Future Forward: Tech Trends Now. Listeners, as 2025 draws to a close on this bustling Tuesday morning, the tech world has erupted in a frenzy of breakthroughs that promise to reshape our daily lives. According to Built In's 2025 year-in-review, this was one of tech's most disruptive years, fueled by artificial intelligence's explosive growth under President Trump's AI Action Plan, which unleashed unfettered innovation amid U.S.-China rivalries.

DeepSeek, a Chinese AI startup, stunned the globe with its DeepSeek-R1 model, rivaling U.S. giants at a fraction of the cost, sending American tech stocks tumbling and sparking the $500 billion Stargate Project. Backed by OpenAI, Nvidia, and Microsoft, this initiative floods the U.S. with data centers, though it strains energy resources. OpenAI's GPT-5 advanced coding and problem-solving but fell short of artificial general intelligence dreams, while Meta's Superintelligence Labs reorganized chaotically, pausing hires after massive spending.

Yet, AI is breaking free from screens. Built In reports OpenAI's pocket-sized, screenless device with Jony Ive gathers real-world data via sensors, arriving soon, and Tesla's robotaxi fleet tests driverless rides in Austin with Cybercab on deck. ET Edge Insights predicts 2026 will amplify this with agentic AI—networks of autonomous agents handling workflows in HR, finance, and supply chains—and embodied AI in robots revolutionizing manufacturing and healthcare.

Fintech surged too. FinTech Futures highlights agentic AI in banks like Wells Fargo and Eurobank, tokenisation expanding to real estate via DBS and JP Morgan, CBDC pilots like the ECB's digital euro with offline payments, instant payments in Europe via EPI and Revolut, and stablecoins powering remittances through new ventures like Zar and Coinbax.

Quantum computing emerges, per ET Edge, tackling pharma complexities with post-quantum cryptography, while digital twins optimize operations. KraneShares foresees physical AI, like humanoid robots, broadening markets into industrials.

Looking to 2026, regulation teeters: Trump's orders saved TikTok via Oracle divestiture and spared Google antitrust breakup, citing rivals like Perplexity. But anti-AI backlash brews. Tech Forward marches on, listeners—agentic systems, embodied intelligence, and tokenized economies await.
