AI technology is advancing faster than ever, and Puneet Chandok, President of Microsoft India and South Asia, believes 2025 will be a breakthrough year for AI agents. Speaking at the India Today Conclave, he explained how these AI-powered assistants will become important partners in our daily lives, changing the way we work, learn, and interact with technology.
Chandok highlighted that the AI industry is growing rapidly, with both large and small language models playing a role. Traditionally, the tech world followed Moore’s Law, which predicted that computer power would double every two years. However, AI models are now improving at twice that speed—every six months.
This rapid progress, he said, will bring three key benefits:
- More Intelligence – AI will become smarter and more capable.
- More Empathy – AI will better understand human emotions and needs.
- More Agency – AI will take on more responsibilities, assisting people in meaningful ways.
With these advancements, AI agents are expected to become a major part of everyday life, making tasks easier and interactions more natural.
