Rapid advancements successful AI, computing, and human-machine enactment are the cardinal drivers down this year’s database of 10 technologies that Gartner believes IT leaders should intimately show successful 2025.
Gene Alvarez, Gartner’s distinguished vice president analyst, revealed a database of exertion trends apt to origin disruption successful the adjacent 2 to 10 years during the IT Symposium/Xpo successful Australia connected Sept. 10. Based connected probe and analyses, helium said the database includes lone technologies and trends that “are truthful important C-level executives are saying we request to bash thing astir this.”
1. Turning AI into decision-making agents
Gartner expects Agentic AI to look wrong the adjacent 2 to 3 years — with capabilities that spell beyond tasks similar summarising accusation to really taking actions connected behalf of individuals. Rather than presenting users with options, they volition beryllium capable to take the enactment that is optimal for the idiosyncratic if fixed permission.
2. Technology platforms for governing AI
Prompted by concerns specified arsenic exemplary bias, AI governance platforms and tools are being developed to physique spot done transparency and morals into models. Alvarez explained that this volition alteration features similar explainability of AI-generated answers and forestall harmful outputs.

3. Tools defending against disinformation
Generative AI could let atrocious actors to make synthetic media, specified arsenic fake videos, voices, and images that impersonate radical oregon organisations. Disinformation information tools volition assistance organisations identify deepfakes oregon observe synthetic media by assessing information and tracking the dispersed of disinformation.
4. Moving to post-quantum cryptography
Post-quantum cryptography standards were precocious released. According to Gartner, post-quantum cryptography volition go a interest successful conscionable 2 to 3 years. IT leaders volition soon request to regenerate each portion oregon encryption with a post-quantum algorithm unbreakable by classical oregon quantum computing.
5. Ambient wireless tags and sensors
The falling outgo of wireless tags and sensors, which tin way and show inventory, proviso concatenation conditions, oregon carnal assets, volition soon alteration organisations to entree and respond to information from parts of their operations that were antecedently “in the shadows,” Alvarez said.
6. Exploring energy-efficient computing
Organisations whitethorn soon statesman moving energy-intensive algorithms to greenish unreality providers, rewrite algorithms to devour little energy, oregon much intimately show vigor usage for generative AI. Additional technologies similar optical, neuromorphic, and DNA retention could make immense ratio improvements.

7. Going hybrid with aboriginal computing
Organisations are expected to instrumentality a hybrid computing attack successful the future. Alvarez said they are apt to integrate and orchestrate aggregate antithetic computing paradigms and technologies, including CPUs, GPUs, borderline computing, quantum computing, optical computing, and storing accusation successful DNA.
8. Enhancing world with spatial computing
Spatial computing brings the carnal and integer realms unneurotic into a single, unified 3D abstraction done devices specified arsenic augmented world headsets. Alvarez said devices and applications are being developed that could enactment just-in-time contextualisation for determination making successful places similar the manufacturing store floor.
9. Robots that multitask
Though it volition instrumentality betwixt 3 and 10 years, polyfunctional robots that tin execute aggregate functions, alternatively than being constricted to a azygous task, are expected to go portion of mundane life. By 2030, Alvarez said 80% of humans could beryllium engaging with astute polyfunctional robots connected a regular basis.
10. Neurological enhancement technologies
Developing technologies that tin work and heighten encephalon functions could beryllium utilized successful settings including healthcare facilities to reconstruct senses specified arsenic show oregon proceeding — though, Gartner says, this volition not hap for astatine slightest different 10 years. Devices volition scope from elemental wearables specified arsenic earbuds oregon headbands to analyzable integrated brain-computer interfaces.
Ignore exertion trends astatine your peril, Gartner warns
IT leaders would request to determine for themselves which technologies to enactment connected now, which to show and which to ignore, Alvarez said. However, helium urged caution to those who bash take to disregard Gartner’s strategical exertion trends, saying, “if you crook your backmost connected a wave, it could sound you down.”
