Innovations That Will Redefine Business in 2025 | Sadin on Digital

Episode 55 | Tech Disruptions Ahead


The Big Themes:



Optimism for 2025 as a Transformative Year:
Wayne and Bob express optimism about 2025, particularly for the
U.S. economy and its impact on CIOs and digital transformation
initiatives. Sadin talks about deregulation and efficiency
measures, such as those championed by the Department of
Government Efficiency (DOGE), could boost confidence and
growth.


AI and Automation Rise: AI and automation are
pivotal for driving efficiency and reclaiming productivity.
Examples include ServiceNow’s claim of saving users 1.5 days of
productivity weekly by automating low-value tasks. Wayne and
Bob cite leaders like Larry Ellison and Elon Musk as potential
drivers of this transformation, particularly if given the
freedom to innovate without excessive regulation.


Advances in Chip Technology Drive Performance and Cost
Efficiency: Technological advances in chip design,
such as the development of two-nanometer chips, promise
dramatic gains in performance and efficiency. Wayne points out
that smaller feature sizes on chips enable exponentially more
transistors per unit, which reduces costs, improves thermal
efficiency, and unlocks new capabilities for AI and data
processing. This progress aligns with Moore’s Law and could
revive productivity leaps in hardware development.



The Big Quote: "Microsoft's going to be a winner because they've
got the legs of the stool, AI in it. Well, maybe four legs, AI,
integration, platform, and application. And you don't see that
with most of the other players, their application focus, their
platform plus application, but Microsoft plays at all layers of
the stack, so I can mix and match."
