So, when I\u2019m not sporadically posting articles here on Hypergrid Business<\/em>, I\u2019m at work covering enterprise artificial intelligence. This is how companies, non-profits, and government organizations are actually using AI. N<\/p>\n I\u2019m not into the public relations BS that vendors are pushing, nor the get-rich-quick schemes from charlatans or equally questionable investment advice from stock analysts \u2014 I\u2019ll write more about how to really invest in AI later \u2014 and not the doom-and-gloom disaster predictions which just serve to scare and paralyze. Also, I\u2019m not a big fan of the singularity theory.<\/p>\n I\u2019m not saying that none of those things will happen. We can still have a Skynet that kills all humans and we should probably pass some AI safety laws and I\u2019m happy that there are people worrying about it.<\/p>\n But we can\u2019t just focus on the worst-case scenarios, especially when there\u2019s not much we can do about them, when there are much more likely things that can happen \u2014 things that we can, in fact, plan for and do something practical about.<\/p>\n So, anyway, that\u2019s where I\u2019m coming from.<\/p>\n And, today, looking back on 2025, I wanted to share what I see as the ten biggest AI developments based on their actual impact on corporations, business, and individual creators.<\/p>\n As someone who\u2019s covered enterprise technology for over 20 years, I talk regularly with business executives about what they\u2019re actually using, what\u2019s working, and what isn\u2019t, so this list isn\u2019t just based on headlines or what ChatGPT tells you. It\u2019s based on my actual experience with the technology and on my conversations with the people who use it. I just checked my database, and in 2025 alone, I connected with 545 sources, and conducted 228 in-depth interviews over Zoom or another video platform \u2014 or, sometimes, the telephone. The rest were email conversations.<\/p>\n Not all interviews made it into the final article. Sometimes, people would confirm what other sources had said, and I\u2019d only quote one of them. And sometimes, the interview would veer off into an interesting area that I didn\u2019t have room for in the article, but might eventually do a follow-up story on.<\/p>\n You can see all my recent AI-related stories here.<\/p>\n I\u2019m starting with the story that has the biggest business impact and ending with the one that affects individual creators the most.<\/p>\n
