“Digitalised ecosystem technologies are making their way to the Hype Cycle fast,” said Walker. Blockchain, blockchain for data security, digital twins, internet of things platforms and knowledge graphs are leading the way for this trend. The shift from compartmentalised technical infrastructures to ecosystem-enabling platforms is laying the foundations for entirely new business models that bridging the current gap between humans and technology. “Technologies representing democratised AI populate three out of five sections on the Hype Cycle, and some of them, such as deep neural nets and virtual assistants, will reach mainstream adoption in the next two to five years,” said Walker. The move towards democratised AI will be enabled by several technologies, including: AI platform-as-a-service, Artificial General Intelligence, autonomous driving, autonomous mobile robots, conversational AI platforms, deep neural nets, smart robots, virtual assistances and flying autonomous vehicles. Gartner’s Hype Cycle predicts the following trends will help businesses to strike a better human-machine balance over the next decade:Ĭloud computing, the open source movement, and the rise of the ‘maker community’ will make AI technologies available to the masses over the next decade. “CIOs and technology leaders should always be scanning the market along with assessing and piloting emerging technologies to identify new business opportunities with high impact potential and strategic relevance for their business.” “Business and technology leaders will continue to face rapidly accelerating technology innovation that will profoundly impact the way they engage with their workforce, collaborate with their partners, and create products and services for their customers,” said Mike Walker, research vice president at Gartner.

Gartner’s Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2018 focuses on the technologies, such as artificial intelligence (AI), that are most likely to help businesses to become ubiquitous, always available and top of their field over the next five to 10 years. Five emerging technology trends are set to blur the lines between humans and machines over the next five to 10 years, according to a new report from Gartner.
