🔮 How to succeed in 2025

Hey there.

Even though your inbox might be filling up with end-of-year roundups and 2024’s highlights, at The Rundown AI University we prefer to look towards the future.

Because 2025 isn't gearing up to be just another year. It's likely to be the year AI completely reshapes how we work.

And while that might sound dramatic, the data tells a story about what's on the horizon:

• 25% of enterprises will deploy AI agents within 12 months

• 56% of entry-level knowledge work positions face automation

• 12 million new AI-powered jobs will be created

• Only 26% of professionals currently use AI daily

The pace of AI adoption is accelerating, and the gap between those who embrace it and those who don't is widening. To stay ahead, you need to understand the key trends and act now.

So here are our predictions for 2025:

1. The rise of AI agents

In 2025, AI agents will evolve into sophisticated orchestrators that can manage complex, multi-step workflows. 

These systems will combine multiple specialized models, with each one handling distinct subtasks to achieve much larger goals.

This will enable AI to tackle increasingly complex problems by breaking down large workflows into smaller, manageable pieces.

Our members are already using this tutorial to build in-house agents that make them irreplaceable.

2. The growing salary divide

The way professionals are paid will change significantly as AI expertise becomes a primary differentiator on the salary scale.

Workers with AI skills already command 21% higher salaries, and we expect this premium to grow. 

Companies will be increasingly willing to hire less-experienced candidates with AI skills over more-experienced ones without them, marking a fundamental shift in how careers progress.

This tutorial will help you use AI to find jobs that are willing to pay you more for your new AI skills.

3. (More) advanced reasoning

Advanced reasoning capabilities (like OpenAI’s o1 Pro) will become mainstream, with more models becoming capable of PhD-level “thinking” across science, coding, math, law, and medicine.

Small, specialized language models will replace general-purpose AI for specific business tasks, reducing costs and helping businesses generate unique insights with in-house tools. 

This is likely to lead to an explosion of use cases as implementation becomes more affordable.

Our recent tutorial will help you solve complex problems with advanced AI reasoning before everyone learns how.

4. The last opportunity to take advantage?

2025 is likely to mark the transition from experimentation to mandatory implementation.

While taking the time to develop AI skills is currently a great way to get ahead, as the landscape changes, the same lessons will simply help you keep up with the crowd. 

If (as expected) AI adoption becomes standard practice across more industries in 2025, this might be your last chance to gain an unfair advantage.

Our AI Starter Kit is the most convenient way to figure out how you can use AI in ways that most of your industry don’t (yet).

The window for gaining a competitive edge through early adoption is likely to close quite rapidly.

That’s why we’re helping thousands of professionals make the most of these opportunities with a growing number of:
