Want to know what happened with AI in 2025?  We first need to study the past to predict the future.  Let's go!

This Century's Human Digital Evolution

Tracing AI in 2025 started when over a century ago, Sociology godfather Robert Park at the University of Chicago introduced the concept of "human ecology" to examine how TRANSPORTATION and COMMUNICATIONS technologies shape urban communities through physical and ideological assimilation.  His insights revealed how schools and local organizations took over key responsibilities from parents and churches, reshaping societal roles with power transfer.  

Today, I believe we are at a cusp of a major super-cycle in Education, but operating at a scale—and complexity—that’s unprecedented. This new wave? many-to-many education model. Think specialized creators sharing knowledge directly with niche audiences. It’s a massive shift, and the implications are hard to ignore.

Alex Hormozi ($100M Offer), James Clear (Atomic Habits), or Dr. Ramani (Narcissistic Disorders) - these individuals in the past would just be an influencer in our social ranking hierarchy, but now not only they each has a loyal and devoted following (personally,  no / yes / OH YES!), each of them are celebrities on their own right, and can common hundreds of thousands of dollar in public speaking fee, book sale and masterclass courses with a $10,000 per course starting point.  

Social medial websites are supposed to be the bad guys. But now - everyone has a YouTube Channel (51pct.digital is our media content brand)that are not supposed to be "good" and "educational". What happened?  How should the Majority react to this?

Why We’re Focusing on AI Automation This Week

In this week’s podcast episode, we highlight the critical role AI automation plays in shaping the digital sphere. Policies and governance increasingly rely on tech-driven decisions, making AI more than a buzzword—it’s becoming the invisible force steering lives. In some cases, automation dehumanizes what should be deeply personal situations.

Take immigration, for example. AI systems now process visa applications, making decisions that impact families' very survival. Evaluations are measured almost entirely by numbers and algorithms, often stripping the humanity from life-altering outcomes. This impersonal approach risks leaving individuals vulnerable, powerless to navigate systems designed for efficiency over empathy.

On The Digital Majority Report, we dive into cases like these—deconstructing the dilemmas that arise when algorithms take precedence over human understanding. This week, you'll hear stories about:

1. The implications of automation in immigration systems.
2. How policy-driven tech failures leave individuals to bear the fallout.
3. Why AI's role in decision-making must be balanced with human oversight.

AI isn’t inherently bad, but when unchecked, it can exacerbate inequality—something we’re passionate about clarifying for listeners and readers alike.

TikTok's Impact to AI in 2025

Platforms like TikTok have revolutionized content delivery through interest-based recommendations, prompting others, including YouTube, to follow suit. This shift prioritizes your interests, reshaping your content consumption experience. (Click Here for deeper dive on how the change of events manifest to our conclusion below):

AI in 2025 (1) Creator Economy:  

Platforms like TikTok launched a revolution by prioritizing interest-based recommendations. This has fueled the rapid growth of creator-led education, where knowledge is tailored, flexible, and monetized. Think bite-sized lessons served on-demand, perfect for busy schedules. The days of one-size-fits-all classrooms are fading, opening the door to endless learning opportunities.

AI in 2025 (2): Identity Integrity: 

As our digital lives expand, so do the risks. Cybercrime has gone corporate, with sophisticated groups targeting vulnerable users—particularly the less tech-savvy. Gen Z might be fluent in digital interactions, but the stakes are high for all of us. Protecting privacy and securing online sovereignty is no longer optional. It’s a need.

AI in 2025(3) Distributed Finance:  

This year, decentralized finance moved closer to mainstream adoption, offering new ways to access and control financial tools without relying on traditional intermediaries. Peer-to-peer lending, decentralized exchanges, and digital assets empower individuals to reclaim financial independence. However, with innovation comes complexity and risk. Understanding DeFi is essential to navigating this space safely—especially as it ties into the broader goal of digital self-determination.
