DELL TECHNOLOGIES held the Predictions 2025 Media Briefing in Asia Pacific & Japan (APJ). The virtual briefing, hosted by Dell Technologies' John Roese, Global Chief Technology Officer and Chief AI Officer, and Peter Marrs, President, Asia Pacific, Japan, and Greater China, highlighted emerging trends poised to reshape the technology industry in 2025 and beyond. The discussion focused on how Dell Technologies is partnering with customers to navigate these trends and capitalize on innovation opportunities.
"No matter which technology you explore today, there is a connective tissue into the AI ecosystem," said Roese. "Every technology is now either enabling AI or is enabled by AI. We are evolving from static and reactive AI to a more dynamic, autonomous, and interactive set of tools that will allow us to achieve unprecedented outcomes."
The rise of agentic AI architecture
Roese predicted that Agentic AI signifies a paradigm shift in human-AI interaction. "The word of 2025 will be Agentic. It is a defining advancement in AI technology and will be a catalyst for significant progress in how we approach AI architecturally," he said.
Generative AI is giving rise to sophisticated AI agents capable of autonomous operation, natural language communication, and seamless collaboration with humans and other AI agents. These specialized agents will transform industries and workflows. Marrs noted, "APJ is experiencing rapid advancements in AI readiness and deployment, fueled by investments projected to reach $110 billion by 2028." This growth is evident in the burgeoning AI-ready data center market, reflecting the region's commitment to embracing AI-driven innovations.
