14、cades of experience as a strategic and transformation partner to our clients around the world,puts us in a unique position to predict the most impactful trends in 2025.A key theme underlying our predictions is that AI and generative AI(Gen AI)are driving forces.This view is shared by industry execut

15、ives around the world and the investor professionals from venture capital and private equity.We also anticipate that AI/Gen AI will drive significant growth in other key technologies.Our top five tech trends to watch in 2025 are:1.Generative AI(Gen AI):From copilots to reasoning AI agentsAutonomous

16、intelligent systems are becoming more prevalent in performing certain tasks.These AI agents are capable of learning and adapting to new situations,making them valuable assets in various industries,from customer service to healthcare.The next step in this tech evolution will be the rise of the super

18、 legal divide,elevating both cyberattacks and cyberdefenses to new levels of sophistication.At the moment,the criminals have their noses ahead:almost all organizations surveyed(97%)in our recently published report say they have suffered breaches or security issues related to the use of Gen AI in the

19、 past year.1 Industry executives in our survey ranked AI and Gen AI in cybersecurity as the highest of more than 60 trends that we analyzed.3.AI-powered robotics:Blurring the line between human and machineCollaborative robots(cobots)and AI-driven robotics are used in various industries to enhance pr

20、oductivity and safety.These technologies enable human and robot to perform precision tasks in concert.While hard-coded,task-specific machines used to dominate robotics,the development of Gen AI is now spurring the creation of new products,including humanoid and collaborative robots,that can adapt to

21、 diverse scenarios and learn continuously from their environments.With robots creeping towards full autonomy and AI taking on complex decision-making roles,the future of work may see a shift in traditional hierarchies.Executive summaryCapgemini Research Institute 2025Top tech trends of 2025:AI-power

201、while expanding their generation capacity.IAEA estimates that,by 2025,global nuclear capacity is expected to reach between 514 GW(e)in the low case and 950 GW(e)in the high case which are respectively 1.4x to 2.5x increase over the current capacity of 372 GW(e)as of the end of 2023.33From 18%in its

228、 technology for 2025,we believe that SMR and AMR technology development will accelerate in 2025.The product director at a leading commercial nuclear business agrees:“Nuclear is in the best place it has been in the past 20 years.Many of the customers,such as hyperscalers,have the money to invest in n

229、uclear now.In 2025,I expect to see a lot of Memoranda of Understanding and tangible progress in supply chain groups to bring together providers of forgings and other commercial nuclear components.”Such large-scale investments are expected to further accelerate innovation in reactor technology and wa

231、owered everything 45Executive summaryAI-driven roboticsNuclear resurgenceNew-generation supply chainIndustry top trendsTop trends by 2030How our 2024 predictions faredAI AgentsAI&Gen AI in cybersecurityOne of the barriers to adoption of SMRs is scaling and related aspects of project performance and

232、financing.However,as investment pledges in proven technology,best practices,and resources increase,this will become less daunting.Moreover,modularization will yield advantages with scale.The US Department of Energy estimates firm orders for 10 units will be enough to kickstart scaling.A firm order f

233、or 10 units is well within the financial and risk profile of a hyperscaler,whereas this would be a challenge for many utilities,whether private or public,for a variety of reasons.What are the key barriers to adoption at scale?Ultimately,we believe AMRs represent the future of nuclear albeit a future

234、 that is still some way off.They have a broad scope of use cases stemming from a compact,intrinsically safe design,high-temperature output,and an innovative commercial model(based on selling electricity,rather than units).But owing to the wide variety of designs in use,their fuel supply chain is sti

235、ll developing.This diversity also means there are a range of regulatory requirements.In the longer run,though,we expect AMRs to thrive in an improved regulatory environment,permitting deployment at scale.There are approximately 80 SMRs,including AMRs under development in 18 countries,from design to

236、construction.However,design failure and fuel supply chain development issues will lead to market rationalization.This should not be taken as the failure of nuclear but rather a refining of approaches.More importantly,even as SMR technology gains credibility,scaled adoption will prove challenging.An

237、important question is,beyond the hyperscalers,will there be broad-scale acceptance by regional and local governments,and by the public?Capgemini Research Institute 2025Top tech trends of 2025:AI-powered everything 46Executive summaryAI-driven roboticsNuclear resurgenceNew-generation supply chainIndu
