Dataiku has unveiled its latest annual trends report, “5 GenAI Trends for 2025: Beware the AI Agent Reckoning,” outlining five game-changing trends set to transform enterprise AI. The report focuses on the rise of AI agents and their role in reshaping the business landscape, signaling a pivotal shift as generative AI (GenAI) becomes more commoditized.

AI agents, capable of autonomously executing tasks, are emerging as a key differentiator for businesses looking to stay competitive. Gartner® predicts that by 2028, 15% of daily decisions will be made autonomously through agentic AI, a significant rise from zero in 2024. These agents promise to drive major advancements in business, from uncovering new revenue opportunities to achieving operational efficiencies and breakthroughs in R&D.

Florian Douetteau, Dataiku co-founder and CEO, stresses that companies need to act now to avoid falling into the “commodity AI trap.” He warns that AI agents are not a distant future but already reshaping industries, with businesses needing to adapt quickly to secure AI-driven differentiation.

The report, based on surveys of 400 data, analytics, and IT leaders and 200 C-suite executives, reveals key findings:

  • 66% of IT leaders have invested over $1 million in GenAI over the past year.
  • 88% plan to increase GenAI investments in 2025.
  • 85% face growing pressure to quantify GenAI ROI.
  • 73% of enterprises are adopting a hybrid approach to managing multiple large language models (LLMs).
  • 75% of C-suite executives express concerns over data privacy, while 81% report high trust in GenAI usage.

The five trends that will shape GenAI in 2025 include:

  1. GenAI Commoditization: As AI agents go mainstream, companies must differentiate their AI strategies to avoid the commodity trap.
  2. ROI Demands: Business leaders are under increasing pressure to demonstrate tangible ROI from GenAI investments.
  3. LLM Challenges: Managing multiple LLMs will be essential but requires streamlined governance to prevent operational chaos.
  4. Governance and Privacy: Weak governance frameworks risk privacy breaches, bias, and compliance failures.
  5. AI Literacy: Upskilling the workforce in AI is key to preparing employees for an AI-driven future.
