#46 - AI27 - Gartner's recommendations for 2026
This audio production is intended to bring new technologies that impact our lives, like digital assets, central bank digital currencies and artificial intelligence in an easy to understand way to a larger audience.
In this episode, we discuss Gartner's forecasts for 2026 and the Path Forward for CIOs with AI and similar topics.
The mandate for 2026 is to be "future-aware but context-focused." Leaders are advised to:
• Formulate a Vision: Define the AI ambition before selecting use cases.
• Foster Participation: "Fingerprints on the solution" drive adoption and mitigate fear.
• Accept Imperfection: Compare AI performance to the "low bar" of human error rather than absolute perfection.
• Maintain Tenacity: Recognize that "saving time is not saving money" and focus on the bottom-line financial impact of AI investments.
