2025 was the year AI stopped being hype and became a hard reality.
In this special long-listen episode of AI SIX, I look back at the defining moments, breakthroughs, and course corrections that shaped AI over the past year, from the DeepSeek shockwave and the arrival of real AI regulation, to vibe coding, autonomous agents, model wars, and the rapid rise of AI video.
Drawing on nearly 270 episodes and a year spent training organisations across sectors, this episode unpacks what truly mattered in AI in 2025 and what it all means as we head into 2026.
