Several San Diegans got a special surprise on New Year's Day.
Hospitals across San Diego shared photos of the first babies born in 2025 with NBC 7.
These bundles of joy are part of a new generation — Beta. It includes those born in 2025 to around 2039, many of whom will live into the 22nd century. Some experts tell NBC News that Gen Betas will likely be more immersed in artificial intelligence and technology than those of Gen Alpha, Gen Z and other previous generations.
