The Gartner, Inc.. announces your list of 10 Key strategic technology trends which companies should explore in 2025.
“The key strategic technology trends of the year encompass the imperatives and risks of Artificial Intelligence (AI), new frontiers of computing, and the synergy between humans and” machines, he says Gene Alvarez's, Vice President and Analyst at Gartner.“Following these trends will help IT leaders shape the future of their companies with responsible innovation and ethics
The main strategic technology trends for 2025 are:
Agentic AI: Agentic AI (Agentic Artificial Intelligence) systems plan and take actions autonomously to achieve user-defined goals.Agentic AI offers the promise of a virtual workforce that can alleviate and enhance human work.Gartner predicts that by 2028, at least 15% of daily work decisions will be made autonomously through Agentic AI, compared to 0% in 2024. The goal-driven capabilities of this technology will deliver more adaptable software systems capable of performing a wide variety of tasks from Agentic AI (The Centic has the potential to carry out the AIChief Information Officers) to increase productivity across the enterprise. This motivation is driving both companies and suppliers to explore, innovate and establish the technology and practices needed to deliver this intelligence in a robust, secure and reliable way.
Artificial Intelligence Governance Platforms: The platforms of governance AI is part of the framework evolving Gartner's Artificial Intelligence trust, risk and security (TRiSM) management, which enables companies to manage the legal, ethical and operational performance of their AI systems. These technology solutions have the ability to create, manage and enforce policies for the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence, explain how AI systems work, and provide transparency to build trust and accountability. Gartner predicts that by 2028, companies implementing comprehensive Artificial Intelligence governance platforms will experience 40% fewer AI-related ethical incidents compared to companies that fail to implement these systems.
Disinformation Security: A security counter-disinformation is an emerging category of technology that systematically discerns trust and aims to provide methodological systems to ensure integrity, assess authenticity, prevent falsifications and track the spread of harmful information.By 2028, Gartner predicts that 50% of enterprises will begin to adopt products, services or resources specifically designed to address security use cases against disinformation, compared to less than 5% today. The wide availability and advanced state of Artificial Intelligence tools and Machine Learning (machine learning) being used for harmful purposes should increase the number of disinformation incidents directed at companies.If this is not controlled, misinformation can cause significant and lasting harm to any company.
Post-Quantum Encryption: Post-quantum cryptography offers data protection that is resistant to the risks of decoding quantum computing. As developments in quantum computing have advanced in recent years, several widely used conventional encryption types are expected to become obsolete. It is not easy to exchange cryptographic methods, so companies should prepare in advance for robust protection of anything sensitive or confidential. Gartner predicts that by 2029, advances in quantum computing will make most conventional asymmetric cryptography unsafe for use.
Invisible Environmental Intelligence: Invisible environmental intelligence is enabled by smart labels and sensors of very low cost and small size, which provide large-scale tracking and sensing at affordable prices.In the long run, invisible environmental intelligence will allow a deeper integration of sensing and intelligence into everyday life. By 2027, the first examples of the technology will focus on solving immediate problems, such as retail inventory checking or perishable goods logistics, while allowing the tracking and detection of items in real time at low cost to improve visibility and efficiency.
Energy Efficient Computing: IT impacts the sustainability in many ways and by 2024, the main consideration for most IT organizations is their carbon footprint. Compute-intensive applications such as Artificial Intelligence training, simulation, optimization and media rendering will likely be the biggest contributors to the carbon footprint of enterprises as they consume the largest amount of energy. It is expected that from the end of the 2020s, several new computing technologies such as optics, neuromorphics and new accelerators will emerge for specific tasks such as AI and optimization, which will utilize significantly less energy.
Hybrid Computing: New computing paradigms keep emerging, including central processing units, graphics processing units, edge (edge), application-specific, neuromorphic integrated circuits, and classical quantum computing and optical paradigms.Hybrid computing combines different computing, storage and network this computing format helps companies explore and solve problems by enabling technologies such as Artificial Intelligence to push current technological boundaries.Hybrid computing will be used to create highly efficient transformative innovation environments that operate more effectively than conventional ones.
Space Computing: Space computing digitally enhances the physical world with technologies such as augmented reality and virtual reality. This is the next level of interaction between physical and virtual experiences. The use of space computing will increase the effectiveness of companies over the next five to seven years, through simplified workflows and enhanced collaboration.Gartner predicts that by 2033, space computing will grow to US$ 1.7 trillion, compared to the US$ 110 billion recorded in 2023.
Polyfunctional Robots: Polyfunctional machines have the ability to perform more than one activity and are replacing robots for specific tasks, which are designed to repeatedly perform a single initiative. The functionality of these new robots improves efficiency and provides a faster return on investment (ROI). Polyfunctional robots are designed to operate in a world with humans, which will allow for a quick implementation and easy scalability. Gartner predicts that by 2030, 80% of humans will interact with intelligent robots daily, compared to less than 10% today.
Neurological Enhancement: Neurological enhancement improves human cognitive skills using technologies that read and decode brain activity. This technology reads a person's brain using one-way brain-machine interfaces or two-way brain-machine interfaces (BBMIs). This has enormous potential in three main areas: human enhancement, next-generation marketing and performance. Neurological enhancement will improve cognitive skills, allow brands to know what consumers are thinking and feeling, and increase human neural capabilities to optimize outcomes. Gartner predicts that by 2030, 30% work of knowledge workers will be enhanced by (mixing and AI technologies as much as much as they are dependent on 1010.
Key strategic technology trends for 2025 highlight those that will cause significant disruption and create opportunities for CIOs and other IT leaders over the next 10 years.Gartner customers can read more in the Special Report “top Strategic Technology Trends for 2025.”
