If you thought the 2025 tech story was “AI everywhere,” you only got the first chapter. Yes, AI is transforming how software gets built—but that’s only one part of the plot. Behind the scenes, engineering workflows are shifting, data pipelines are being rethought, development methodologies are wobbling, hardware ceilings are showing, and even energy and sustainability are back on the table. To make sense of what comes next, we sat down with AMC Bridge experts working across training, engineering, and delivery. Their perspectives cut across tools, workflows, engineering culture, system design, and big-picture tech forces. Here’s where things are heading this year—and what’s worth watching as the curve continues to bend.
As software vendors modernize their 3D platforms, transitioning to a reliable and widely adopted geometry kernel becomes essential for improving modeling accuracy, streamlining development, and accelerating innovation.
