AI Predictions for 2025

Although over the last two or three years, AI has made a significant impact on society, in 2025 AI is set to transform businesses, changing the way we work and live. The tech newsletter OpenTools has made the following predictions for 2025:

Greater Focus

In 2025, AI apps will become highly specialized. Businesses will start to use AI to solve specific problems within industries. Healthcare, for example, is going to see huge advancements in diagnostic AI, while industries like manufacturing will use AI to predict maintenance needs, keeping things running smoothly without costly breakdowns.

Generative AI

Generative AI in 2025 will become even more powerful. Whether it’s used for creating content, developing code, or designing new products, businesses will be leveraging generative AI to innovate faster and more efficiently than ever before. I’m particularly excited about how AI will enhance creative industries, opening up new possibilities for content creators across the board.

Ethics

As AI usage continues to grow, so will the conversation about ethics. We will likely see the development of stronger governmental and industry guidelines and frameworks to ensure AI is used responsibly. There will be a greater emphasis on transparency, data privacy, and minimizing bias in AI models—important steps that will help build trust in these technologies.

Automation

AI will continue to automate work—but it's not all doom and gloom. The primary benefit will be AI apps being used for repetitive tasks, allowing humans to focus on the creative and strategic work that machines can’t replicate. There will be shift toward “AI-human collaboration” in the workplace, where humans work alongside AI.

Everyday Life

By the end of 2025, AI will be so integrated into our daily routines that we’ll likely forget that it’s there. From smarter personal assistants to AI-powered healthcare apps offering personalized advice, it’s going to seem like AI is just an “invisible helper” working in the background, making everything run more smoothly.

EOQ Calculations in Excel

Image
Last week in Operations Management we used Excel to calculate the Economic Order Quantity and graph Carrying Costs, Ordering Costs, and Total Costs. The Economic Order Quantity or "EOQ" is the order size that "minimizes" Total Costs. Any more or less and you are spending too much on ordering or too much on keeping inventory. For example, in the Excel spreadsheet below, if you had an Annual Demand of 12000 units, Ordering Costs of $10 per order, and Holding costs of $4 per unit per year, the EOQ would be 245 units and Total Costs would be $980.00: We used the following formula in Excel to calculate EOQ: =SQRT((2*B2*B3)/B4) And the following formula to calculate Total Costs at this point: =$B$6/2*$B$4+$B$2/B6*$B$3 To create the graph, we used the following formulas and simply copied them over a range of 100 to 500 units. Ordering Costs: =$B$2/D2*$B$3 Holding Costs: =D2/2*$B$4 Total Costs: =F2+G2 Looking at this chart, we can clearly see that our order size of 245 is ...

Reliability Calculations in Excel

Image
In Operations Management today we used Excel to calculate product reliability. Reliability is defined as "the ability of a product, service, part, or system to perform its intended function under a prescribed set of circumstances" (Stevenson, 2009). In order to calulate reliability over a given length of time we need to use the following formula: P(no failure) = e -t/MTBF where: e = 2.7183 t = Length of service before failure MTBF = Mean Time Between Failures One of the cases we did in class involved an auto detailing company that wanted to calculate the reliability of its vacuum cleaners. Excel provides an "EXP" funtion that we can easily apply here. After entering all data for the problem as shown on the spreadsheet below, we type the formula =EXP(-A5/$B$2) in cell B5 and copy down. Next we plot the distribution for t=0 to the maximum life expectancy of 20 years using a line graph. What we end up with looks like a classic case of "ex...

“How Are We Doing?” Efficiency, Utilization, and Productivity

Image
In business, knowing how we are performing in relation to our competition is vital. Internally we want to know if we are using resources effectively and getting the most out of what we have. Efficiency and Productivity are two calculations that are fundamental to the success of any organization. While the calculations are simple, choosing what measures to use and collecting the necessary data requires a thorough understanding of your industry. To calculate Efficiency you will have to first decide what to use as a base for comparison. Does your company already have a “target” of some kind? Like total units produced? If so then you can compare everything to that. Once you have that, there are a couple of basic formulas that can be used: Efficiency = Actual Output/Effective Capacity X 100% Utilization = Actual Output/Design Capacity X 100% Design Capacity is the maximum output achieved under ideal conditions. Effective Capacity is always less than Design Capacity because of factors...
