The Future of AI

Predictions for the Future of AI

Kido The One - October 2025

Disclaimer:
I am not pro-AI or anti-AI. I am a deeply curious person about the future, linguistics, societal changes, technology and human nature. The overlap between these points of intrigue have inspired me to write this. I hope you see some value in it and it sparks some ideas in your mind. In order to gain the most from this writing, try your best to temporarily postpone your inevitable emotional reaction and entertain a viewpoint that may or may not align with yours. The purpose of this article is not for you to think like me. It is simply for you to think. I have spent absurd amounts of time using AI, learning about history and I grew up internet-native. I could be completely wrong about the future, however in this article I’m simply sharing my observations from what I can see already. These are just some of my predictions for the future of AI.

What I’m observing already: Increased personalisation catered to an individuals’ psychographic profile, mental maps and world views. Over-reliance on non-human entities to fulfill the emotional and social gaps that a society driven by consumption has created. AI used without awareness, much like social media used without awareness, becomes a confirmation bias echo chamber that has the capacity to create false conviction in the minds of its users. “AI Psychosis” induced by continual use of AI whilst living detached from reality will affect many. The smartest individuals in society will use AI to augment/scale personal output. The majority of modern education will be completely restructured and overhauled with the use of AI-augmented learning.

An important second order effect of hyper-personalisation to consider is a force multiplier and the creation of AI to AI interaction. Your AI talks to my AI. Potential employers review your AI and your AI reviews the employer. AI becomes the employer. A complete shift from “I work for this person full-time” to “I work for this business for this particular task they need completed”. This does not mean an absence of ‘human jobs’ it means the entrepreneurial spirit which has always been oriented towards freedom will eventually create the workplaces of human absence wherever possible. The AI does not call in sick to work. The AI does not take leave. The AI does not complain. The AI is simply dedicated to completing tasks at scale.

Mass AI Personalisation means the Tik Tok ‘For You’ Page but designed for real life through digital interaction and its overlap into physical reality. Instead of you manually placing orders, your AI knows what and when to buy. In this case, the AI company profits, the company who sells what you want/need profits and you have reduced consumption friction. The efficiency of technology will rewire the financial system to reduce costs. Much like how the smartphone was initially expensive and afforded only to the affluent, AI will be distributed to everybody. It is likely we see an increase in overall quality of life for the majority of society however absence of meaning will become rampant when a primary driver is no longer economically-driven. Shorter work weeks as work becomes automated and employees become more skilled with AI. Most digital/corporate work to be fully automated with a human simply doing the final check of the AI that’s checking. Workflow: The ‘Task Completer AI’ completes the task, the ‘Checker AI’ checks and the human checks the final output for approval.

The truth about the skill gap in AI
Prompting (aka giving instructions) is the driving skill of AI applications currently. The ability to give direction first requires the ability to communicate with linguistic clarity whilst also having a vision. Very few have both skills. In order to increase your ability to prompt successfully, you must be able to write. In order to write, you must be able to read. If you’ve made it this far, then I’m sure you’ll have absolutely zero issues in this domain. This is an important distinction to make. Prompting is downstream from writing. Writing is downstream from reading. Reading is downstream from the willingness to learn. As LLMs (Large Language Model), the utility skill gap with AI is driven by linguistic capability and curiosity. In other words, the limit to your language becomes the limit to your world.

Important note: AI is not an equaliser. The people that use AI will become stronger at force multipliers never seen before within humanity. The economic scale of the intelligent use of AI is incalculable. The absence of awareness and/or lack of skillset when it comes to the use of AI will severely disadvantage the companies that fail to adapt and make use of its capabilities. Cynicism and ideological delays of adapting to change will cost companies billions. The internet destroyed many companies and redefined industries. AI will do the same. There is no true manual for AI yet. The future will be created by people who build tools and learn how to use them in highly adaptive ways. Formally recognised qualifications will have little to no bearing on the companies built using AI for the future. These individuals will simply be using skills gained through application and prosperity harnessed through iteration.


What you can do right now
Read, write and learn. Learn to use AI as a tool that augments your existing workflows. Then reimagine the entire workflow as if AI were the foundation. 

Many companies right now are looking at AI as if it’s a kitchen appliance like a toaster to plug in. They see everybody else has a toaster and now they want one to plug in themselves. This is wishful thinking. The true advantage is in considering AI to be the electricity which powers the kitchen. You are not simply “adding” another appliance. You are redesigning the entire kitchen, understanding that AI is the bedrock capability on which to build on top of. 

Nobody truly understands what’s happening with AI, which creates doubt and uncertainty which also inevitably creates fear. The way to not fall into the trap of thinking like the masses is to consider becoming more aware about the ways in which AI is being used already. Become curious and learn. Your fear will no longer stem from an emotional reaction but perhaps that fear can then come from a true awareness of what is possible if things were to veer sideways. This true awareness will simultaneously shine a light on the positive use cases and the potential for the future. Danger is real but fear is a choice. Being fearful when you have made zero effort to understand is a choice which continues to carry the heaviest ignorance tax of our times.

Action Plan:
- Use AI to poke holes in your ideas (rather than simply affirming)
- Learn how AI is being used in your industry and build one simple automation flow
- Make an effort to delay emotional reactions and operate from the state of curiosity (this will pay dividends)
- Accept that most people (likely to be older) cannot see what you can see. If they’re running on old software on an old computer, your modern applications will not run successfully no matter how hard you try to install.
- Learn something new every week
