AI in 2025: the game-changer Devs can't ignore
The integration of AI into software development is set to transform the industry in 2025, driving efficiency, personalization, and innovation. According to the latest GitLab DevSecOps survey, the adoption of AI in development processes has grown significantly, with 78% of respondents using or planning to use AI within two years. Intelligent AI agents will redefine applications, moving beyond static interfaces to offer adaptive, real-time interactions that learn from user behavior. These agents will enable highly personalized experiences, reshaping how software is used and designed.
AI assistants will evolve from reactive tools to proactive collaborators, anticipating developer needs and streamlining the software development life cycle (SDLC). They will enhance productivity by automating repetitive tasks, allowing developers to focus on strategic problem-solving and innovation. Additionally, the trend toward on-premises AI deployments will enable companies to customize models while addressing compliance and security concerns, particularly in regulated industries. See more.

Trump’s cyber playbook might surprise you
The U.S. government has made significant strides against ransomware during Biden’s presidency, labeling it a national security threat and empowering agencies to disrupt ransomware networks, reclaim ransom payments, and prosecute offenders. Despite these efforts, ransomware attacks have reached record levels, posing a growing challenge as President-elect Donald Trump prepares to assume office. Industry leaders predict changes to cybersecurity policy, emphasizing the relentless nature of cyber threats. Experts warn of potential shifts in federal strategies, with a focus on deregulation potentially impacting incident reporting and international collaboration.
Trump’s first term saw mixed outcomes in cybersecurity, including the establishment of CISA and policies encouraging offensive cyber operations. However, deregulation plans for his second term, such as dismantling DHS and altering breach notification rules, could weaken federal defenses and reduce visibility into cybercrime. While Trump may ramp up offensive cyber capabilities to combat ransomware, experts caution that reduced intelligence sharing and scaled-back regulations could leave U.S. networks more vulnerable, undoing progress made in global ransomware mitigation efforts.
