The top strategic [technology trends for 2025](https://www.gartner.com/en/articles/top-technology-trends-2025) are:
**Agentic AI** Agentic [AI](https://www.gartner.com/en/topics/artificial-intelligence) systems autonomously plan and take actions to meet user-defined goals. Agentic AI offers the promise of a virtual workforce that can offload and augment human work. Gartner predicts that by 2028, at least 15% of day-to-day work decisions will be made autonomously through agentic AI, up from 0% in 2024. The goal-driven capabilities of this technology will deliver more adaptable software systems, capable of completing a wide variety of tasks.
[Agentic AI](https://www.gartner.com/en/articles/intelligent-agent-in-ai) has the potential to realize CIOs’ desire to increase productivity across the organization. This motivation is driving both enterprises and vendors to explore, innovate and establish the technology and practices needed to deliver this agency in a robust, secure and trustworthy way.
**AI Governance Platforms** AI [governance](https://www.gartner.com/en/data-analytics/topics/data-governance) platforms are a part of Gartner’s evolving AI Trust, Risk and Security Management (TRiSM) framework that enables organizations to manage the legal, ethical and operational performance of their AI systems. These technology solutions have the capability to create, manage and enforce policies for responsible AI use, explain how AI systems work and provide transparency to build trust and accountability.
Gartner predicts that by 2028, organizations that implement comprehensive AI governance platforms will experience 40% fewer AI-related ethical incidents compared to those without such systems.
