Predictions 2025

The machines haven't yet taken over so we've put our heads together to come up with our annual season finale when we make our predictions for the year to come in areas key to the digital, tech and media sectors.  We've also considered the impact of the recent elections in the UK and at EU level on the legislative and policy agenda for 2025.  Predictability doesn't seem to have featured much over the last few years but we've done our best, covering:

  • Technology and media
  • Online safety
  • AI
  • UK tech and digital policy
  • European Commission tech and digital policy
  • The impact of the US Presidential election outcome

  • Sport
  • Consumer protection

Season's greetings and all the best for 2025!
