AI technologies including generative AI<\/a> and large language models are rapidly developing into business partners rather than just tools for rewriting content or pumping out cool recipes, Gartner analysts told the more than 8,000 IT executives at its IT Symposium\/Xpo in Orlando, Florida, this week.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenAI is not just a technology or just a business trend. Machines are evolving from being our tools to becoming our teammates,\u201d said Mary Mesaglio, distinguished vice president analyst at Gartner. \u201cWe are moving from what machines can do for us to what machines can be for us.\u201d  <\/p>\n

To that end, Gartner predicts that by 2025, GenAI will be a workforce partner for 90% of companies worldwide. In addition, by 2026, more than 80% of enterprises will have used GenAI application programming interfaces (APIs) or models, and\/or deployed GenAI-enabled applications in production environments, up from less than 5% in 2023, Gartner stated. (Also see Gartner’s top strategic technology trends<\/a> for 2024)<\/p>\n

Mesaglio said AI technology will develop in two ways: everyday AI and game-changing AI. Everyday AI is focused on productivity and enables workers to perform better and faster, while game-changing AI is focused primarily on creating new technologies and ways to do business, Mesaglio said.<\/p>\n

Currently, 77% of CIOs and technology leaders worldwide are focused on the opportunities of everyday AI. \u201cIt is important to note that everyday AI will go from dazzling to ordinary with outrageous speed,\u201d Mesaglio said. \u201cEveryone will have access to the same tools, and it will not provide a sustainable competitive advantage. Everyday AI is the new table stakes.\u201d<\/p>\n

Game-changing AI won\u2019t just make workers faster or better. It can create new results, via AI-enabled products and services, or it can create new ways to create new results, such as with AI-enabled new core capabilities. With game-changing AI, machines will disrupt business models and entire industries, Mesaglio said. \u201cTo do game changing AI, three tough conditions have to be met. You will need a lot of risk tolerance, a lot of executive patience and boatloads of money.\u201d<\/p>\n
