Vuosi 2025 jää historiaan tekoälyn murrosvaiheena, jolloin suuret lupaukset kohtasivat hallusinaatioiden ja taloudellisen kannattavuuden haasteet, mutta samalla nähtiin merkittäviä laitejulkaisuja, kuten Nintendo Switch 2 ja innovatiiviset kolminkertaiset taitettavat puhelimet. Verkkomaailma muuttui aiempaa hauraammaksi ja kyberuhat kehittyivät monimutkaisemmiksi, vaikka kuluttajaelektroniikka otti suuria harppauksia älykellojen, kodin automaation ja visuaalisten generatiivisten työkalujen saralla. Kun suuntaamme kohti vuotta 2026, huomio kiinnittyy CES-messujen uutuuksiin ja tekoälykumppaneiden kehitykseen, samalla kun arvioimme menneen vuoden suurimpia epäonnistumisia, toteutumattomia lupauksia ja teknologiakentän uusia poliittisia ulottuvuuksia.
The year 2025 will be remembered as a pivotal moment for artificial intelligence, where grand promises met the reality of hallucinations and ROI challenges, while hardware like the Nintendo Switch 2 and innovative tri-fold phones successfully captured the spotlight. As the internet became more fragile and cyber threats evolved, consumer tech continued to advance through smarter wearables, home automation systems, and powerful image generation tools. Looking ahead to 2026, the focus shifts toward CES innovations and the rise of personal AI companions, providing a moment to reflect on the past year’s biggest failures, unfulfilled promises, and the increasingly political nature of the global technology landscape.

By now, everyone knows that Elon Musk is very much an optimist when it comes to making predictions. That's the nice way to put it. To be blunt, Musk is a "bullshit artist."
