A new era begins.
Let us welcome today’s generation “Beta,” comprising children born between January 1, 2025 and 2039, who will step into a world where artificial intelligence (AI) and automation are integral to daily life.
Futurist and social analyst Mark McCrindle described generation Beta as growing up in an age where AI will dominate key areas such as education, workplaces, healthcare, and entertainment.
“Generation Beta will live in an era where AI and automation are fully embedded in everyday life – from education and workplaces to healthcare and entertainment,” McCrindle said.
According to McCrindle, these children will experience a fully digitized lifestyle unlike any generation before them.
Although AI concerns are rampant, experts believe that this new generation, raised by Millennials and older Gen Z parents, will likely focus on global issues, collaboration, and community-building, reflecting the priorities of their forward-thinking parents as described by McCrindle.
“This generation will be raised by Millennial and older Gen Z parents, many of whom prioritize adaptability, equality, and eco-consciousness…Generation Beta being more globally minded, community-focused, and collaborative,” McCrindle explained.
