Gartner has announced its list of the top 10 strategic technology trends that businesses should explore in 2025 .

“ Keeping up with these trends will help IT leaders shape the future of their companies with responsible and ethical innovation .”

The main strategic technology trends for 2025 are :

Agentic AI : Agentic AI ( Artificial Intelligence Agency ) systems plan and take actions autonomously to achieve goals defined by users . Agentic AI offers the promise of a virtual workforce that can alleviate and empower human labor . Gartner predicts that by 2028 , at least 15 % of daily work decisions will be made autonomously through Agentic AI , compared to 0 % in 2024 . The goaloriented capabilities of this technology will deliver more adaptable software systems capable of performing a wide variety of tasks . Agentic AI has the potential to fulfill Chief Information Officers ’ desire to increase productivity across the enterprise . This motivation is driving both companies and suppliers to explore , innovate , and establish the technology and practices needed to deliver that intelligence in a robust , secure and reliable way .

Artificial Intelligence Governance Platforms : AI governance platforms are part of Gartner ’ s evolving Artificial Intelligence Trust , Risk and Security Management ( TRiSM ) framework , which enables companies to manage the legal , ethical and operational performance of their AI systems . These technological solutions have the ability to create , manage and enforce policies for the responsible use of Artificial Intelligence , explain how AI systems work , and provide transparency to build trust and accountability . Gartner predicts that by 2028 , companies that implement comprehensive AI governance platforms will experience 40 % fewer AI-related ethical incidents compared to companies that don ’ t .

Security against Misinformation : Security against disinformation is an emerging category of technology that systematically discerns trust and aims to provide methodological systems to ensure integrity , assess authenticity , prevent forgeries and track the spread of harmful information . By 2028 , Gartner predicts that 50 % of companies will begin to adopt products , services , or features specifically designed to address misinformation security use cases , compared to less than

5 % today . The widespread availability and advanced state of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning tools being used for harmful purposes are expected to increase the number of disinformation incidents targeting companies . If this is left unchecked , misinformation can cause significant and lasting damage to any company .

Post-Quantum Cryptography : Post-quantum cryptography offers data protection that is resistant to the decoding risks of quantum computing . As developments in quantum computing have advanced in recent years , it is expected that several types of widely used conventional cryptography will become obsolete . It ’ s not easy to exchange crypto methods , so businesses should prepare in advance for robust protection of anything sensitive or confidential . Gartner predicts that by 2029 , advances in quantum computing will make most conventional asymmetric cryptographies insecure to use .

Environmental Invisible Intelligence : Invisible environmental intelligence is enabled by very low-cost , small-sized smart tags and sensors that provide largescale tracking and sensing at affordable prices . In the long term , environmental invisible intelligence will allow for a deeper integration of sensing and intelligence
