00:00:00.041 --> 00:00:02.210
I'm Deirdre Bolton here at BCG.

2
00:00:02.210 --> 00:00:05.672
I'm speaking with executives
about what they're most

3
00:00:05.672 --> 00:00:09.634
optimistic about for 2025. AI
and the potential it will have

4
00:00:09.634 --> 00:00:12.721
for businesses and also for
humanity at large.

5
00:00:12.846 --> 00:00:15.640
I believe really finding those
pockets of innovation and

6
00:00:15.640 --> 00:00:17.809
competitiveness for the next
decade is key.

7
00:00:18.309 --> 00:00:20.603
Green technologies will surely
be among them.

8
00:00:20.645 --> 00:00:23.857
The intelligence revolution and
the clean energy revolution,

9
00:00:23.857 --> 00:00:27.027
happening simultaneously in the
world. And the possibilities

10
00:00:27.027 --> 00:00:30.488
from them are truly immense, and
that makes me extremely excited.

11
00:00:30.822 --> 00:00:34.075
I'm optimistic that companies
will really start harnessing the

12
00:00:34.075 --> 00:00:36.453
power of AI and transform the
way they work.

13
00:00:36.619 --> 00:00:39.539
I'm really optimistic about the
power of the globalization

14
00:00:40.040 --> 00:00:43.376
after spending one week here.
I'm really confident that

15
00:00:43.376 --> 00:00:46.796
business leaders will really
embrace AI and tech to drive

16
00:00:46.796 --> 00:00:48.423
value for their businesses.

17
00:00:48.506 --> 00:00:51.509
I'm optimistic that the
governance of AI is now being

18
00:00:51.509 --> 00:00:52.052
discussed.

19
00:00:52.218 --> 00:00:56.473
I believe that the importance of
partnerships and the importance

20
00:00:56.473 --> 00:00:59.100
of trust is only going to be
amplified.

21
00:00:59.225 --> 00:01:02.353
I'm super optimistic about value
creation with AI.

22
00:01:02.353 --> 00:01:05.940
Today, we only have 25% of
companies who really extract

23
00:01:05.940 --> 00:01:07.942
value from their AI investment.

24
00:01:08.026 --> 00:01:10.612
There's still plenty we all have
to do to address societal

25
00:01:10.612 --> 00:01:13.198
challenges, including climate
and sustainability, but I am

26
00:01:13.198 --> 00:01:14.032
feeling optimistic.

27
00:01:14.532 --> 00:01:18.536
I see here a lot of companies
that are staying the course for

28
00:01:18.536 --> 00:01:22.457
governments around the world as
a 1.75 trillion opportunity

29
00:01:22.457 --> 00:01:24.125
leveraging the technology.

30
00:01:24.125 --> 00:01:27.629
I'm very hopeful the governments
will seize that opportunity to

31
00:01:27.629 --> 00:01:29.881
provide better services to the
citizens.
