The 10 top strategic technology trends expected to drive significant disruption and opportunity for IT leaders over the next 36 months were announced today at the Gartner IT Symposium/Expo in Orlando.

Gartner suggested that a disciplined approach to the adoption of widespread technology and attention to risk will be paramount. Here are the 10 technology trends, in no particular order, as identified by Gartner:

 

(A) Democratized generative AI: The confluence of massively pretrained models, cloud computing and open source are making models accessible to works worldwide. By 2026, Gartner predicts that more than 80% of enterprises will have used generative AI models.

 

(B) Industry cloud platforms:  By 2027, Gartner predicts that more than 70% of enterprises will use industry cloud platforms to accelerate business initiatives.

 

(C) Platform engineering: The growing discipline of building and operating self-service internal development platforms to optimize productivity and accelerate the delivery of business value.

 

(D) AI trust, risk and security management: Gartner predicts that by 2026, enterprises that apply these controls will increase the accuracy of their decision-making by eliminating up to 80% of faulty information.

 

(E) AI-augmented development: AI tools like generative AI and machine learning will help software engineers create, code, and test applications more effectively.

 

(F) Intelligent applications: The learned adaptation to respond appropriately and autonomously will be utilized in many use cases to better augment or automate work.

 

(G) Machine customers: By 2018, 15 billion connected products will exist with the potential to behave as customers.

 

(H) Augmented-connected workforce: This strategy for optimizing the value derived from human workers will accelerate with 25% of CIOs using the augmented-connected workforce to reduce time to competency by 50% for key roles.

 

(I) Continuous threat exposure management: By 2027, Gartner predicts that organizations that prioritize security investments based on continuous threats will realize a two-thirds reduction in breaches.

 

(J) Sustainable technology: Gartner forecasts that by 2027, a quarter of Chief Information Officers (CIOs) will witness their personal compensation being tied to the positive impact of sustainable technology initiatives. This indicates a growing emphasis on environmentally responsible tech practices within organizational leadership and incentivization structures.

 

Gartner analysts suggested that technology leaders should focus on longer-term approaches.

 

“Technology disruptions and socioeconomic uncertainties require a willingness to act boldly and strategically to enhance resilience over ad hoc responses,” said Bart Willemsen, vice president and analyst at Gartner.

“IT leaders are in a unique position to strategically lay down a roadmap where technology investments help their business’s sustenance of success amidst these uncertainties and pressures.”
