The Future of Software Engineers and Industries We’re Watching in 2025

Welcome to Applied AI, The Information’s twice-weekly newsletter that will take you inside how businesses are using artificial intelligence.

I’m Jon Victor, the lead writer for Applied AI. For seven years I have been reporting on technology and most recently on how businesses are using AI. I recently interviewed Marc Benioff for a profile of Salesforce’s big push into AI agents and Databricks’ Ali Ghodsi about how AI is helping workers crunch data without knowing how to code.
