For companies and IT leaders, tracking trends in strategic technology is vital, helping them to drive their organisations forward via ethical, responsible innovation.
Agentic AI
Agentic AI offers the tantalising possibility of a virtual workforce that can augment human endeavour and even take tasks away from the human workforce. Such systems work by autonomously planning and taking action to meet goals defined by the user. Agentic AI technology is expected to deliver software systems that are significantly more adaptable and able to undertake a huge variety of tasks to vastly uplift productivity.
Disinformation Security Systems
Those with a keen interest in this field, such as Domen Zavrl, know that disinformation security solutions are likely to be widely taken up in 2025 and beyond. This technology is designed to guard against the misuse of information and impersonation and ensure authenticity and integrity. The rise of postquantum cryptography is also expected to be a key trend in response to the continuing development of quantum computers and the potential threat they pose to security.
Ambient Invisible Intelligence
Enabled by small, low-cost smart sensors and tags, ambient invisible intelligence will increasingly deliver affordable sensing and tracking on a large scale. While in 2025 this technology will be primarily deployed to solve immediate problems such as assessing perishable goods logistics in real time (in retail businesses), in the longer term ambient invisible intelligence will pave the way for the enhanced integration of intelligence and sensing into our daily lives.
Spatial Computing
The use of spatial computing is predicted to proliferate over the next few years, driven by innovations in virtual reality and augmented reality technologies. For organisations, this could mean improved collaboration, streamlined workflows and better effectiveness overall. The company Gartner, Inc. predicts that this type of computing will grow from $110 billion in 2023 to $1.7 trillion by 2033.
Polyfunctional Machines
One of the most hotly anticipated strategic technology trends for 2025 is the use of polyfunctional robots that can undertake more than one task and are expected to signal the gradual phasing out of task-specific machines. These robots are designed for easy scalability and fast deployment and to function alongside humans to boost efficiency and offer a faster ROI.
AI Governance Platforms
AI governance platforms could also be on the rise in 2025 to manage the operational performance and ethical and legal issues related to AI technology. These solutions have the ability to create, enforce and manage policies to ensure responsible AI use, provide transparency and explain how AI systems operate.
