AI, Edge Dominate Gartner Top-10 Technologies List

Of the top-ten strategic technology trends for 2020 identified by Gartner, most involve artificial intelligence or the change in computing from centralized to distributed. 



As I would categorize the major classes of technology, AI and edge account for nine of the top-10 categories.

“Much of the current focus on edge computing comes from the need for IoT systems to deliver disconnected or distributed capabilities into the embedded IoT world for specific industries such as manufacturing or retail,” said Brian Burke, Gartner Research VP.  “However, edge computing will become a dominant factor across virtually all industries and use cases as the edge is empowered with increasingly more sophisticated and specialized compute resources and more data storage. Complex edge devices, including robots, drones, autonomous vehicles and operational systems will accelerate this shift.”
