In 2025, artificial intelligence is no longer perceived as an experimental technology – today, its capabilities are aimed at automation, forecasting, advanced analytics, and many other things that are impossible and/or ineffective to implement through other, older technologies. At the same time, the market is changing too quickly, and solutions that were considered innovative yesterday, today risk becoming commonplace in the TA’s eyes. So, what are the latest AI trends? Let's consider them right now.

General Statistics Concerning New Technologies in AI

The artificial intelligence-based services market has been growing very rapidly in recent years: according to expert forecasts, from $26.15 billion in 2024, by the end of 2025, it promises to reach $37.78 billion with an average annual growth rate of 44.5%. This is largely due to the advanced automation capabilities that AI provides, which can be useful in solving both business and everyday tasks. However, this is not the only thing that affects еру AI market growth – for many, AI, as one of the most trendy technologies, becomes a part of the USP, and its implementation is often closely related to marketing. 

Whatever it is, you should understand what the value of a particular variation of AI is. Actually, below, we will describe existing AI-based options and also share our insights on what practical benefits they can bring to your target audience.

1. Multimodal AI Systems

Multimodal AI systems are highly intelligent “general profile” models: they can simultaneously understand human speech, generate context-sensitive texts, and create media files, including images/audio/video. They are usually used in scenarios where users need to be able to both make a voice/text request or just upload media to receive a response in any convenient format.

From a business perspective, such systems can become the foundation of omnichannel support, which requires implementing text and voice chat, as well as introducing a smart document scanner. Another common use case is quality control solutions in manufacturing: here, a multimodal AI system can perform video analysis and generate text reports. Finally, this AI format allows medical centers to introduce smart assistants that independently analyze scanning images and form conclusions.

As for the most popular software tools for building multimodal systems, these include GPT-4o/4.1, Claude 3, Gemini 1.5 Pro, and Llama 3.1.

2. Agentic AI and Autonomous Systems

In essence, these are mutually synchronizing LLM agents that can plan, select tools for solving specific problems, and automate “plan-act-reflect” cycles. Unlike conventional AI, which follows either predefined rules or human instructions, these systems operate autonomously and are even capable of self-optimization.

The greatest business value of such systems is achieved when autonomous processing of requests and incidents is required. They can also become the basis for back-office robotic operators, be used to generate reports and SQL queries, and also be utilized as an excellent RPA-based replacement for writing scripts.

Tools that are suitable for implementing such systems include OpenAI Assistants API, LangGraph, AutoGen, CrewAI, and Semantic Kernel.

3. AI-Native Applications and Workflows

AI-native apps and workflows are software solutions where LLM serves as a central logic layer. Typically, this category includes NL interfaces and semantic workflows that take into account the context of user-entered data.

To be more precise, such solutions can help with the implementation of NL-powered search for corporate knowledge, dialog CRM and BI systems, as well as solutions for NL-oriented automation and generating content according to brand guides.

As for the tech stack, LangChain, as well as vector databases such as pgvector, Pinecone, or Milvus, will be useful here.

4. Edge AI and On-Device Processing

The use of edge AI is aimed at reducing latency – in particular, it can process data directly on devices such as smartphones, cameras, Jetson, and POS terminals. Actually, this is its main difference from cloud-based AI, which sends data to remote servers for processing (thereby increasing the time needed to complete this procedure). By the way, edge AI not only minimizes latency but also ensures data privacy.

Standard use cases for this new artificial intelligence technology include solutions for recognizing human faces, flaw detection on a production line, offline prompts, and cloud-free voice interfaces.

Depending on the tasks assigned to edge AI, it can be implemented using TensorFlow Lite, Core ML, PyTorch Mobile, and ONNX Runtime.

5. Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) 2.0

RAG 2.0 implies generating content based on data provided by the specific user. However, unlike the RAG’s previous generation, these advancements boast improved retrieval, query reformulation, reranking, knowledge graphs, and legal control of answers.

Overall, if you need a solution for generating fast and accurate answers according to unique regulations (for example, this is relevant for the legal sector) or centralized search across disparate sources, RAG 2.0 will become the best choice.

In terms of implementation, you may find tools such as Hybrid search, ColBERT, Vespa, Neo4j, and Arize useful.

6. AI Code Generation and Development Tools

Automation of coding through AI today is an industry standard – the most advanced tools can suggest code lines in IDEs, automatically generate tests, compile documentation, perform CI/CD configurations, and even recommend architecture improvements.

The business value of such solutions is obvious: companies can speed up the SDLC, introduce newcomers to projects faster, and minimize technical debt. This is especially important for IT teams and outsourced development, where the speed of introducing new features determines their competitiveness.

The tools for the implementation of such solutions include GitHub Copilot, JetBrains AI, Sourcegraph Cody, Code Llama, and OpenAI.

7. Neuro-Symbolic AI

Neuro-symbolic AI combines the advantages of neural networks, such as the ability to work with raw data, and knowledge graphs. This means that with its help, developers get the opportunity to train models on colossal data arrays, while ensuring the explainability of conclusions.

Practical applications of neuro-symbolic AI are valuable for the sectors of finance and insurance (for example, when checking transactions for compliance with policies), as well as healthcare (in diagnostics with explainable results).

Graph databases like Neo4j, RDF/SPARQL, and hybrid frameworks such as DeepProbLog are usually used to implement such solutions.

8. Federated Learning & Privacy-Preserving AI

Federated learning enables the processing of distributed data (i.e., without the need to transfer it to a single database). This means that different companies or departments can train one model together, while maintaining control and privacy of corporate information.

The main use cases are found in the banking, healthcare, and telecom sectors – in general, wherever it’s critical not to violate the law and maintain the user data privacy. For example, thanks to such AI software, several hospitals can jointly train a model to diagnose diseases without exchanging patient data.

TensorFlow Federated, Flower, PySyft, and Opacus are most often used in the development of solutions based on these latest AI breakthroughs.

9. Real-Time AI Personalization Engines

Real-time personalization is a must-have for the eCommerce, fintech, and media sectors. Such solutions instantly provide recommendations and offers, as well as tailor interfaces to the specific user behavior. Also, unlike previous generations of AI recommendation systems, these ones take into account the current context: the user's device, location, and history of actions over the past minutes.

In general, thanks to this AI new technology, businesses receive an increase in LTV and conversion rates, and also ensure more efficient use of marketing budgets.

The technology stack may include Kafka, Pulsar, as well as Flink, Spark Streaming, and libraries such as Vowpal Wabbit and River.

10. AI-Powered Predictive Analytics 2.0

Today, next-gen AI-powered solutions that can work with time-based data, as well as perform cause-and-effect analysis and scenario modeling, are gaining popularity.

As for practical benefits, analytics-oriented recent advancements in artificial intelligence can forecast demand, help automate inventory management, implement dynamic pricing, and perform risk scoring. Also, unlike traditional methods, the new generation of AI-based predictive analytics better takes into account complex dependencies and adapts to the context of use in real time.

To implement such solutions, developers usually use TFT, Informer, Chronos, GluonTS, AutoGluon, and PyCaret.

11. Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning

Quantum machine learning, as one of the most inspiring upcoming AI technologies, is still considered the competence of research and development centers. However, today, it opens up new horizons in optimization and search problems. In particular, hybrid quantum-classical algorithms are capable of solving problems that are inaccessible to classical algorithms due to their resource inefficiency.

The business value of quantum machine learning lies not so much in existing products, but in preparation for introduction into new-generation digital solutions.

In this regard, the technology stack for creating such ML-powered solutions is quite limited: Qiskit, PennyLane, and TensorFlow Quantum can be attributed to it.
