Tech Trends for the Norwegian Parliament 2025
The tech trends for 2025 are:
- Artificial intelligence learns to think before it speaks
The rapid development of artificial intelligence capable of reasoning, planning, and acting suggests that artificial general intelligence (AGI) may be just a few years away. - Digital separation between the US and Europe
While the EU prioritises online safety and secure AI, the US throws regulation overboard to secure global technological dominance. - Quantum technology may finally become useful
Quantum technology could detect hidden threats, identify critical resources, and enable new materials. Other Nordic countries are investing heavily, while Norway lacks a clear strategy. - The tech giants are becoming power giants
The energy demands of artificial intelligence are skyrocketing, and tech companies are stockpiling and expanding power capacity like never before. - The golden age of solar power could leave Norway in the shade
Solar power is now the world’s cheapest energy source—and soon the biggest. Norway needs to start talking about the sun.
