The future of AI will impact everyone—whether you're ready or not. According to the latest insights from Gartner's IT Symposium/Xpo, now is the time to get engaged with AI before you fall too far behind. Even if you think AI is not something you need, please think again. Before you know it (and I'm talking months, not years), it will be ubiquitous.
Why AI Mastery Matters Now More Than Ever
AI is evolving as rapidly as we learn to use it, and very soon, it may surpass your ability to keep up. I've been using AI for over a year, and I'm already at that point.
Daryl Plumer, a distinguished vice president analyst and chief of research at Gartner, made it clear at this week’s event: “Before we reach the point where humans can no longer keep up, we must embrace how much better AI can make us.” Whether we like it or not, AI will shape our professional and personal worlds, and understanding its power is no longer optional. It’s the new literacy of our time, and it's critical for leaders, employees, and innovators alike.
Top Strategic Predictions for 2025 and Beyond
Gartner's projections offer us a window into an AI-driven world with some startling implications:
Organizational Restructuring due to AI By 2026, 20% of organizations will reduce labor costs with AI, especially through the elimination of middle management roles. This could reshape who and how businesses hire and will result in a leaner and more agile structure, ready to pivot at a moment's notice.
Digital Addiction and Social Isolation: If we thought COVID-19 created problems with isolation issues, by 2028, the effects of digital addiction will be so prevalent that 70% of organizations will adopt anti-digital policies to protect employee well-being, impacting up to 1 billion people.
AI on the Board: By 2029, 10% of global boards will leverage AI insights to challenge executive decisions. AI is set to play an increasingly critical role in high-stakes decision-making, bringing a fresh perspective that holds executives accountable.
Employee Mood Tracking: The workplace will be further monitored, with 40% of large enterprises using AI to analyze employee moods by 2028. As AI continues to measure sentiment, the ethical implications of workplace surveillance will become a key consideration.
Generative AI Branding: Companies will likely adopt AI-generated labels and rebranding initiatives by 2028 as they seek to distinguish themselves in the crowded digital landscape.
Security Challenges: With AI set to oversee or even contain AI actions, 40% of CIOs will demand tracking solutions to mitigate risks associated with malicious internal and external actors by 2028.
Energy Management: Fortune 500 companies will shift $500 billion toward microgrids to meet AI's growing energy needs, creating opportunities for sustainable tech investments.
