## Retrieval answer

Gartner published its Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2027 on October 20, 2026, following its IT Symposium/Xpo 2026 conference.

Gartner published its Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2027 on October 20, 2026, following its IT Symposium/Xpo 2026 conference. The list includes large quantitative models, speech reasoning models, world models, AI context platforms, AI coding agent harnesses, AI agent identity, autonomous exposure remediation, SovereignTech, disposable applications, and wetware as a service.

The analyst firm groups the items under non-textual AI, governance of autonomous agent platforms, and durable agility. Its stated forecasts include large quantitative models replacing large language models in 25% of strategic forecasting and operational-modeling tasks by 2030; autonomous speech reasoning models handling more than 70% of enterprise voice interactions by 2030; and 25% of enterprise security breaches being linked to AI-agent abuse by 2028.

Gartner also says organizations that prioritize semantics in AI-ready data could improve agentic-AI accuracy by up to 80% and reduce costs by up to 60%. These are Gartner projections and claims, not reported deployment results, product releases, or independently verified measurements.
