I’ve been publishing a few articles recently about what to expect in 2025:

Employee Benefits: What to Expect in 2025

I thought it might be interesting to ask ChatGPT what organizations should expect in the upcoming year. In 2024, I asked ChatGPT what would be “in” and “out” and honestly, the predictions weren’t too far off. So, here are five things that ChatGPT told me would be prominent this year. Let me start by saying that I took artificial intelligence (AI) off the list – even though it was mentioned – because that just sounded a bit promotional. You know, AI says that AI will be “in” for 2025. 

Sustainability and green initiatives

Remote and hybrid work models 

Health, wellness, and mental health focus 

Emphasis on diversity and inclusion

Focus on data privacy and cybersecurity enhancements

Forgive me for being a bit cynical, but given what’s in the news, I’m not sure I’m seeing a high level of promise in what ChatGPT is telling me here. Granted, I would love it if organizations focused on these things. But it’s early in the year so there is plenty of time for AI to be right after all. We’ll see!

On the other hand, ChatGPT’s list of what will be “out” for organizations in 2025 is more in alignment with what we’re hearing in the news.

Traditional advertising channels

Cash transactions

Non-digital customer service

Manual data entry and paper-based processes

Traditional employee training

Again, it will be interesting to see how the year progresses and how the incoming administration has an impact on business operations. 

I wanted to wrap up today’s article on a fun note, so I also asked ChatGPT what would be in / out from a pop culture perspective in the months ahead. IN: adult summer camps, big hair, dopamine-boosting hobbies, and gaming culture. OUT: sourdough baking, sanewashing, standalone mustaches, and bubble dresses. It will be interesting to watch these. I’m not sure how I feel about big hair and bubble dresses – ha.ha.

I still believe that activities like this – asking artificial intelligence for predictions – can be a great way to start getting comfortable with using it. AI isn’t going away. At some point, we won’t be able to avoid it. I believe that’s what is meant by non-digital customer service. Fewer people, more chatbots. So, get ready and continue to experiment with AI.
