Babies born in 2025 will kick off a new generation: Generation Beta. Members of Gen Beta will be born between the years 2025 and 2039, and will be the children of younger Millennials and older members of Gen Z.
Gen Beta will experience artificial intelligence and automation in every aspect of life, according to social researcher Mark McCrindle. By 2035, Gen Beta is expected to make up 16% of the global population, and many members of the new generation are expected to live into the 22nd century.
