#340 Reviewing Our Data Trends & Predictions of 2025 with DataCamp's CEO & COO, Jonathan Cornelissen & Martijn Theuwissen

2025 was another huge year for data and AI. Generative AI continued to reshape how we work and interact with technology, with organizations moving beyond experimentation and pushing AI firmly into production. We saw major progress in foundation models, the rise of long-running AI agents, production-ready generative video, and wider adoption of synthetic data. At the same time, AI literacy, adoption, and ROI became central concerns for boards and executives, not just technical teams.This time last year, DataCamp Co-Founders Jonathan and Martijn made a series of predictions about data and AI for 2025. Today, they join Richie to reflect on how those predictions played out—and to share their vision for where data and AI are headed next.In the episode, Richie, Jonathan, and Martijn review the real-world adoption of generative AI, the shift from hype to production, the growing importance of AI literacy and usage at the executive level, the rise of longer-running AI agents, the near-mainstreaming of generative video, Europe’s position in the global AI race, why educators may be among the biggest AI adopters, and why AI hype continues to thrive—plus what they got right, what they got wrong, and what comes next.Links Mentioned in the Show:The DataCamp Data & AI Literacy Report 2025AI-Native Course: Intro to AI for WorkRelated Episode: Data Trends & Predictions 2025 with DataCamp's CEO & COO, Jonathan Cornelissen & Martijn TheuwissenExplore AI-Native Learning on DataCampNew to DataCamp?Learn on the go using the DataCamp mobile appEmpower your business with world-class data and AI skills with DataCamp for business
