Going into this new year we all reflect on the outcomes of the previous 12 months, looking for guidance as we launch into the new year armed with new-found wisdom and lessons learned. In 2024, the implementation and use of AI exploded across all industry sectors which begs the question, what can we expect in 2025?
The Short Answer: Humans hold the keys to the success of your AI tools.
Starmind CEO and Founder, Marc Vontobel took a look back at 2024 to identify the clear paths forward to success. The headline here: Humans hold the keys to the success of your AI tools.
Here are Marc’s 4 top predictions for AI in 2025 from Starmind himself, let’s take a look.
The Top 4 Predictions for AI in 2025
1️⃣ Human Intelligence remains your key asset.
In 2025, the fog will clear, and companies will realize that their greatest asset isn’t technology—it’s their people. While Generative AI becomes a commodity, Human Intelligence (HI) remains irreplaceable. The winning organizations will be those who know how to unlock the unique expertise within their teams and blend it seamlessly with AI. Remember, 80% of your company’s knowledge lives in the minds of your people—not in a database.
2️⃣ From AI to Human and Back.
We’re moving toward systems that enable seamless handovers between machines and human experts. AI will handle what it does best, and when it hits its limits, it will guide you to the right human expert. And vice versa—humans will know when to lean on AI to enhance their own productivity. It’s not just about hybrid; it’s about designing workflows where humans and AI collaborate effortlessly.
3️⃣ AI as a human relationship builder.
Remote work has weakened the “weak ties” that spark innovation and cross-pollination. But AI doesn’t just have the potential to rebuild those connections—it can create entirely new ones. By intelligently connecting people across teams, locations, or even organizations, AI can foster human-to-human relationships between individuals who might otherwise have never met. This could unlock an entirely new level of collaboration and innovation.
4️⃣ Data quality becomes… sexy.
In 2025, data quality will no longer be an afterthought—it will take center stage. Why? While Large Language Models (LLMs) can make bad data sound convincing, it’s still just “garbage on steroids.” Companies will double down on data hygiene, creating systems that prioritize clean, reliable, and actionable information. Data quality will become the foundation for every successful AI initiative.
The team at Starmind is ready to propel Starmind into the next phase of the AI revolution, with humans firmly placed at the center of all planning and design of their product.
Starmind ‘s Head of Engineering, Christian Moser shares his perspective on the essential role of Human Intelligence when implementing AI solutions, “Human Intelligence is the cornerstone of innovation, and AI is the key to amplifying its reach. By leveraging the power of AI to break through organizational silos and bridge functional divisions, organizations can enable employees to seamlessly access their colleagues’ expertise. When the unique strengths of human intelligence and AI are brought together, the full potential of both can be unlocked, driving transformative collaboration and innovation.”
Charlie Händel, Enterprise Account Director for Starmind experiences these phenomena daily, and values the power of human connection above the tech, “Day by day, our brains become more valuable —far beyond the next fancy AI technology.. because it's us driving the actual success in companies!” He reiterates the main driver of the value of Starmind as a tool for leveraging this tacit knowledge and unleashing the potential lying dormant in your organization. “As [Marc says], 80% of a company’s knowledge lives in its people... Let 2025 be the year for companies to recognize and enable that potential!
