Gartner has released a series of data and analytics predictions that put AI at the heart of changes in workplace software, governance, hiring, and the amount of data generated by machines in the physical world.
AI is expected to reshape leadership, governance, talent and market dynamics in the coming years. Gartner also points to a shift toward text-focused models, with more systems operating in real-world environments and generating new classes of data.
