AI adoption comes with a new set of challenges for managers, says Gartner report
More than one in 10 enterprises will be AI-first by 2030, outperforming competitors in the adoption of AI agents, semantics and converged data and analytics (D&A) platforms, according to the business and technology insights company Gartner Inc. These three areas are the driving forces behind the top trends for D&A."Organisations are moving rapidly towards an AI-first operating model, where AI is now a core consideration in every business decision, workflow and investment," said Carlie Idoine, VP analyst at Gartner.
"Without a clear, enterprise-wide commitment, organisations will struggle to consistently realise their full potential across the business."
Gartner recommends that organisations factor the following D&A trends into their strategies over the next two years.
Trend 1: Sovereign AI accelerates: As AI becomes a key to economic strength, nation states are prioritising control over their own AI capabilities, minimising reliance on foreign countries to advance sovereign objectives. Localising D&A control is an important part of this process. This is an external geopolitical reality that many organisations must manage on their roadmap to becoming an AI-first enterprise.
