Of course - AI and machine learning are poised to have the most transformative impact. These technologies enable predictive analytics, automate decision-making, and provide deep operational insights.

In my opinion, some of the main challenges include managing data security and privacy, integrating AI into legacy systems, and addressing the complexity of multi-cloud environments. Businesses should focus on building resilient, scalable architectures, enforcing strict data governance policies, and investing in AI-based threat detection and response.
5. In your view, which industry trends will shape digital business transformation in 2025, and how should organizations prepare for them?
Organizations should invest in scalable AI platforms, enhance data infrastructure, and develop strategies for cross-functional data sharing. The rise of sustainable infrastructure will also push companies to adopt eco-friendly practices and tools.
