Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2021. The Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies is unique among most Gartner Hype Cycles because it distils insights from more than 1,500 technologies into a succinct set of must-know emerging technologies and trends that show promise in delivering a high degree of competitive advantage over the next five to 10 years. “Leading organisations will lean on the emerging technologies in this year’s Hype Cycle to build trust and new growth opportunities against a background of continued strategic change and economic uncertainty.” Breakthrough technologies are continually appearing, challenging even the most innovative organisations to keep up,” said Brian Burke, Research Vice President at Gartner. “Technology innovation is a key enabler of competitive differentiation and is the catalyst for transforming many industries. This refers to the introduction of technologies that enhance human intellect and physiology through biohacking, with body modifications such as brain-computer interfaces, biochips and cultured or artificial tissue predicted to soon become more commonplace.Īlthough questions remain about how far society is prepared to accept these kinds of applications and what ethical issues they create, Gartner predicts that they could become the norm within a decade.Engineering trust, accelerating growth and sculpting change are the three overarching trends on the Gartner Hype Cycle for Emerging Technologies, 2021 that will drive organisations to explore emerging technologies such as nonfungible tokens, sovereign cloud, data fabric, generative artificial intelligence and composable networks to help secure competitive advantage. Perhaps more unsettling for some, Garter also predicts that humanity will soon begin its “transhuman” era. Other emerging technologies of that category, such as smart robots or AI PaaS, are also moving rapidly through the Hype Cycle approaching the peak and will soon have crossed it.” “Technologies representing democratised AI populate three out of five sections on the Hype Cycle, and some of them, such as deep neural nets and virtual assistants, will reach mainstream adoption in the next two to five years. Research vice-president at Gartner Mike Walker said: This trend is enabled by the following technologies: AI platform as a service, artificial general intelligence, autonomous driving, autonomous mobile robots, conversational AI platform, deep neural nets, flying autonomous vehicles, smart robots and virtual assistants. Artificial intelligence (AI) is among this group, which the organisation predicts will be ‘virtually everywhere’ over the next ten years. However, Gartner predicts that other technologies look likely to continue growing in popularity and ubiquity in the next decade. Other emerging technologies that are entering the trough of disillusionment include smart fabrics, connected homes and most significantly, blockchain, which has received a considerable amount of attention in recent years, with some experts predicting that bitcoin will replace traditional currencies within a decade.

It’s a virtuous circle – launching more AR apps means people become more comfortable using this kind of technology, and in turn this continues to drive up adoption.” “The business case for developing further AR applications continues to grow as the technology becomes increasingly ubiquitous. Google and Apple own the majority of the smartphone market and are both investing heavily in AR, helping this technology reach the mainstream more quickly and explaining its more advanced position on the latest Hype Cycle.
“Augmented Reality is fast becoming a default part of the devices in our pockets.
