Gartner Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends 2025

# Trend Description
1 Agentic AI Agentic AI refers to software programs that are designed to independently make decisions and take actions to achieve specific goals. These programs combine various AI techniques with features like memory, planning, sensing the environment, using tools and following safety guidelines to carry out tasks to reach objectives on their own.
2 Post-quantum Cryptography Post-quantum cryptography (PQC) refers to cryptographic methods designed to be secure against the potential threats posed by quantum computers.
3 Spatial Computing Spatial computing augments the physical world by “anchoring” digital content in the real world, enabling users to interact with it in an immersive, realistic and intuitive experience.
4 AI Governance Platforms AI governance platforms help manage and control AI systems by ensuring they are used responsibly and ethically. They allow IT leaders to make sure AI is reliable, transparent, fair and accountable while also meeting safety and ethical standards. This ensures that AI aligns with the organization’s values and broader societal expectations.
5 Ambient Invisible Intelligence Ambient invisible intelligence refers to the widespread use of small, low-cost tags and sensors to track the location and status of various objects and environments. This information is sent to the cloud for analysis and record keeping. These technologies will be built into everyday objects, often without the user noticing them.
6 Polyfunctional Robots Polyfunctional robots are machines that can perform multiple tasks, following human instruction or example. They are flexible in both design and how they operate.
7 Disinformation Security Disinformation security is designed to help identify what can be trusted. The goal is to create systems that ensure information is accurate, verify authenticity, prevent impersonation and monitor the spread of harmful content.
8 Energy-Efficient Computing Energy-efficient computing refers to designing and operating computers, data centers and other digital systems in ways that minimize energy consumption and carbon footprint.
9 Neurological Enhancement Neurological enhancement is the process of improving a human’s cognitive abilities using technologies that read and decode brain activity and optionally write to the brain.
10 Hybrid Computing Hybrid computing combines various technologies — such as CPUs, GPUs, edge devices, ASICs, and neuromorphic, quantum and photonic systems —to solve complex computational problems. It creates a hybrid environment that uses the strengths of each technology.
