ORLANDO, Fla. -- The near-term evolution of AI and more distant prospects such as quantum computing are expected to drive an IT future in which CIOs will need to coordinate deeper layers of technology resources.
Indeed, orchestration -- in various guises -- emerged as one of the key themes at Gartner IT Symposium/Xpo 2024 this week. Several speakers at the annual event discussed how emerging technologies must work together to yield the best results.
A key example is agentic AI, a form of artificial intelligence in which systems can make autonomous decisions and take actions on their own. The technology, which remains in the early stages of development, could represent the next wave of AI.
