As 2025 comes to a close, we take a step back and look at what actually changed in AI this year, and what still hasn’t.
In this final episode of the year, we discuss OpenAI’s GPT-5.2 release, the new 1.5 image model now built into ChatGPT, and what these developments reveal about the current state of AI adoption.
We explore:
Why most AI agents today still sit at the personal productivity level
The spectrum of AI agents, from copilots to enterprise-grade platforms
What GPT-5.2’s thinking capabilities change in practice
How the new 1.5 image model compares to tools like Gemini Nano Banana
GDP-VAL and why it’s a more meaningful way to measure AI value
Hallucinations, reliability, and why enterprise automation plays by different rules
Key insights from OpenAI’s State of Enterprise AI report
This episode wraps up the Agent Workforce Podcast for 2025 and sets the stage for what’s coming next, from agentic architectures to real, process-level transformation.
