Gartner has unveiled a list of 12 emerging technology disruptions poised to transform business systems in the coming years. These technologies, including generative AI (GenAI)-enabled code architecture, disinformation security, and Earth intelligence, are expected to be widely adopted by 2030, providing organisations with competitive advantages.
“Technology leaders must take action now to gain a first-mover advantage with these technologies,” emphasised Bill Ray, dstinguished VP Analyst at Gartner. “Innovative advancements like GenAI-enabled code architecture and disinformation security will provide the differentiation needed for enterprises to excel in data and product offerings.”
Among the highlighted disruptions, GenAI-enabled code architecture stands out by facilitating dynamic composable applications. This technology will replace conventional user interfaces in enterprise applications, allowing for more flexible user interactions.
“To remain competitive, traditional enterprise application software vendors will need to refactor applications to serve composable GenAI solutions,” stated Ray Valdes, VP analyst at Gartner. By 2029, Gartner predicts that over 50% of user interactions related to enterprise processes will utilise large language models, a significant increase from less than 5% today.
Disinformation security is another critical area of focus, addressing threats from outside the corporate network. This emerging discipline encompasses technologies such as deepfake detection and reputation protection.
“Disinformation attacks use external infrastructure like social media, originating from areas with limited legal oversight,” explained Alfredo Ramirez IV, senior director analyst at Gartner. He noted that by 2030, at least half of enterprises will have adopted products or services aimed at combating disinformation, a sharp rise from under 5% in 2024.
Additionally, Earth intelligence is set to revolutionise how businesses monitor and analyse global assets. Gartner predicts that by 2028, 80% of major Earth surface assets will be monitored by active satellites.
“Earth intelligence delivers critical insights beyond just maps and charts; it provides data on global nickel production, theme park revenue, and the health of wheat crops,” Ray elaborated. This capability is applicable across various industries, with defence being the first significant adopter.
“The breadth of applications for Earth intelligence means it applies to every business,” Ray concluded. “Enterprises can gain an early advantage by strategically applying Earth intelligence to enhance existing systems or develop new capabilities.”
As these technologies evolve, organisations are encouraged to prioritise their integration to stay ahead in an increasingly competitive landscape.
