GENERATION BETA AND AI DRIVEN REVOLUTION

2025 brought a considerable transformation due to the shift of the entire generation from generation Alpha to generation beta. Generation beta is the successor of generation alpha (2010-2024) ,which is further followed by generation Z (1996-2010) and millennials (1981-1996). As per demographic calculations generation beta will accumulate sixteen percent of the total population of the world. This will be the generation that is going to raise an entirely different world due invasion of artificial intelligence and technological advancement. Artificial intelligence has completely changed the aroma of the world although it premiered during generation alpha yet, its revolution will only be discerned by generation beta that will be beyond our expectations.

“For generation beta, the digital and physical world will be seamless ” McCrindle.

Different generations experience different parental influences due to inculcation of advancements. Millennials are the ones who have glimpsed this world from no technology to a thorough transformation of the technological world and they possess exclusive perspectives about all these worldly modifications. Generation Z also nurtured in sway of social media and technology that imposed a significant impact on it but, generation beta,  as predicted, will turn all the tables  because of integration of artificial intelligence.

All the AI driven adaptive learning systems will revolutionize the education system for generation beta. Most of the daily life pursuits are assumed to be accomplished by artificial intelligence in the future that will fetch a considerable decline in physical man labour. Although generation Alpha has experienced the rise of social media and artificial intelligence yet, generation beta will enjoy the era where artificial intelligence will be entirely integrated into everyday life. Life will become fully robotic and automated to such an extent that if  members of gen X (1965-1979) and baby boomers (1946-1964) find themselves in this future they would be shocked and struggle to believe their eyes. The sheer extent of technological advancement would be almost unimaginable to them.

Generation Beta will witness not only pros but also cons of Artificial Intelligence (AI). A notable disadvantage is the potential decline of manual labour, as AI-driven technology and social media platforms enable people to earn a living without engaging in physical work. This sedentary lifestyle may lead to various health issues due to lack of physical activities. Furthermore, the surge of AI may also displace job opportunities for humans, exacerbating unemployment and economic instability. As a result, Generation Beta will need to mitigate these negative consequences and seek alternatives to strike a balance between technological advancements and human well-being.

Generation Beta will be the first to truly inhabit a world where the virtual and physical are indistinguishable, where personal and collective realities are co-created. Their identities may not be confined to one geographical place but will be shaped by virtual spaces that feel as real as their hometowns. The concept of "privacy" will be foreign to them, not due to ignorance but because the boundaries between self and others will be so fluid, everything will be shared, analyzed, and molded into the very fabric of social interaction. Instead of book learning , they will develop algorithms that predict needs and desires, nurturing not just knowledge, but emotional intelligence tailored to the complexities of their ever-evolving world. In this landscape, human potential and artificial intelligence will no longer be separate; they will be one.

There are some queries about generation beta that will remain intact until the time reveals the truth. Whether generation beta will be able to maintain mental health and well being or will get disrupted due to rapid advancements? Climate crisis is also a pre prepared challenge for generation beta would expand in future or fall due to swift advancements and managements. One of the greatest challenges for  generation beta is to maintain foreign policies in this highly advanced world,let the time to resolve these rhetorics.

In a nutshell, in order to succeed in the upcoming artificial intelligence driven economy, Generation Beta will have to develop essential skills including creativity, critical thinking, and emotional intelligence. Emotional intelligence, in particular, will play a vital role in enabling individuals to become more productive, empathetic, and effective collaborators. By prioritizing these developing digital skills, Generation Beta will be better equipped in the future to create a balance between human capabilities and AI technologies.

"A typical generation spans 15 to 18 years. As many critics of generational research point out, there is great diversity of thought, experience and behaviour within generations.”
