In this year, AI has thoroughly transformed the education system through Adaptive learning platforms supported by AI. One innovative project was LearnSmart AI, which utilized Natural Language Processing (NLP) to understand questions from students and provide clear and personalized answers in real-time. This has made education accessible to students in remote or underserved regions.
NASA’s Voyager AI played an important role in analyzing data from distant planets to identify potential signs of life. Moreover, AI-controlled robots were deployed on Mars to perform various experiments and repair equipment autonomously, which has significantly improved humanity’s quest to colonize in other planets. Additionally, AI has been used in space debris monitoring, space vehicle navigation, mission planning and satellite functionalities.
Generative AI or GenAI took a massive leap forward in this year. OpenAI’s GPT-5 Creative, created art, music, and even short movies. As a result, the entertainment industry embraced this technology wholeheartedly. Now, filmmakers are considering AI to generate visual effects, musicians collaborated with AI to create unique tracks. Furthermore, numerous brands are currently using gen AI to craft customized advertisements.

In 2024, autonomous vehicles reached new heights as companies including Tesla, Waymo, and Baidu unveiled fleets of self-driving cars and trucks operating flawlessly in urban and rural environments. These vehicles used advanced AI algorithms to analyze road conditions, predict traffic patterns, while ensuring passenger safety. Experts believe this would be further used in reducing accidents and emissions to reshape urban infrastructure.
In this year, AI emerged as a robust tool to combat climate change. European Space Agency’s (ESA) CryoSat mission helped mapping iceberg; Space Intelligence company predicted deforestation rate; in South Africa IKI project helped predicting weather patterns; Software startup Greyparrot developed an AI system to analyze waste processing and recycling facilities; environmental organization The Ocean Cleanup used AI to help clear plastic pollution from the ocean.
