Following Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2025, numerous insights and predictions on the future of technology have emerged. The company has identified the top strategic technology trends for 2026 focusing on the growing role of AI. However, Gartner's stocks declined in Q3, presumably due to market fluctuations or corporate developments. Observations from the event include the increasing skepticism around AI, but this also presents a moment of breakthrough. Gartner's top predictions reveal the dark side of AI's influence on IT organizations.
Interestingly, 50% of non-U.S. CIOs and tech execs are planning to change their vendor engagement based on regional factors. A key topic addressed was how geopolitics is influencing global AI strategies. Amidst these developments, Gartner is potentially reassessing its research subscription model due to the impact of generative AI. The CIO agenda for 2026 was unveiled as well. With AI becoming a central theme, Gartner projects global IT spending to reach a whopping $6 trillion by 2026.
