The coming year 2025 will see AI agents making decisions autonomously and collaborating on business goals, says Wipro’s Tech Trends for 2025 report. Companies will increasingly leverage these agents to innovate their processes, generate new revenue streams and improve efficiency, the report adds.

The report, supported by ideas from Wipro Lab45’s global team also identified key developments for the year such as the rise of autonomous software-defined machines, advances in industry-specific cloud solutions and the emergence of autonomous AI agents.

The report also suggests that the roles of humans will shift toward implementing AI workflows and validating their results. Likewise, autonomous machines, powered by AI and machine learning, are expected to become widespread.

From industrial robots to self-healing medical devices, software-defined capabilities will transform industries, delivering operational efficiency with minimal human intervention, the IT company said.

Additionally, AI-based industrial cloud platforms are expected to reach significant maturity by 2025, with pre-built AI models tailored to specific industry requirements. Collaboration between industry consortia will play a critical role in unlocking value from shared data, while ensuring privacy and compliance.

Blockchain technology is also poised for accelerated adoption, with advances in central bank digital currencies (CBDCs) and regulated liability networks (RLNs). This technology will improve traceability, trust and transparency across all sectors, including financial services and digital commerce, Wipro said.

Additionally, businesses should prioritize sustainability, integrating AI to optimize resource usage and reduce energy consumption.

Cyber ​​resilience will also gain importance as organizations adopt AI-based cybersecurity solutions to counter sophisticated threats such as deepfakes and data poisoning, the company said.

Finally, quantum computing is expected to see rapid adoption in industries such as biopharmaceuticals and chemicals, with companies gearing up for post-quantum cryptography to address emerging challenges.
