I'm Deirdre Bolton here at BCG.
I'm speaking with executives about what they're most
optimistic about for 2025. AI and the potential it will have
for businesses and also for humanity at large.
I believe really finding those pockets of innovation and
competitiveness for the next decade is key.
Green technologies will surely be among them.
The intelligence revolution and the clean energy revolution,
happening simultaneously in the world. And the possibilities
from them are truly immense, and that makes me extremely excited.
I'm optimistic that companies will really start harnessing the
power of AI and transform the way they work.
I'm really optimistic about the power of the globalization
after spending one week here. I'm really confident that
business leaders will really embrace AI and tech to drive
value for their businesses.
I'm optimistic that the governance of AI is now being
discussed.
I believe that the importance of partnerships and the importance
of trust is only going to be amplified.
I'm super optimistic about value creation with AI.
Today, we only have 25% of companies who really extract
value from their AI investment.
There's still plenty we all have to do to address societal
challenges, including climate and sustainability, but I am
feeling optimistic.
I see here a lot of companies that are staying the course for
governments around the world as a 1.75 trillion opportunity
leveraging the technology.
I'm very hopeful the governments will seize that opportunity to
provide better services to the citizens.
