Bill Ray, Vice President and Chief of Research at Gartner, warns about the energy, ethical, and security challenges in the new era of artificial intelligence.
During the special Gartner event at COMPUTEX 2025, Vice President and Chief Research Analyst Bill Ray presented the 12 disruptive technology trends shaping the future digital landscape. In his address at the Taipei Nangang Exhibition Center Hall 2, he emphasized that these innovations will redefine entire industries and bring about fundamental changes that businesses and governments cannot ignore.
Among the standout trends are multifunctional robots, energy-efficient computing, earth intelligence, and domain-specific language models. “The future belongs not to humanoids, but to functionality,” Ray stated, adding that generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) is opening up enormous opportunities for automating complex tasks and deploying robots more easily.
The Energy Challenge of AI
Ray warned that the energy demands of AI are severely impacting the expansion of data centers, projecting that by 2026, over 30% of expansions will be delayed due to a lack of energy. This issue has brought the need for more efficient computing into focus, along with a thorough review of current architectures.
AI Beyond LLM: Synthetic Data and Specialized Agents
In this new landscape, general-purpose language models (LLM) are losing prominence to domain-specific models, which Ray claims will drive 90% of GenAI-based solutions by 2030.
He also highlighted that synthetic data will surpass real data as the basis for business decision-making. This transition is not only an efficiency improvement but also a matter of privacy, scalability, and trust in the source of the data.
Proactive Security and Digital Ethics
The rise of artificial intelligence has transformed the paradigm of cybersecurity, shifting from a reactive approach to a preemptive one, where prevention will account for 50% of IT security spending by the end of the decade.
As intelligent simulation enables the prediction and modeling of entire processes—from new medications to urban infrastructure—Ray warned of a new corporate responsibility: the management of digital ethical debt.
The 12 Technology Trends Identified by Gartner
- Multifunctional Robots
- Energy-Efficient Computing
- Earth Intelligence
- Sensor Fusion
- Silicon Aligned with Algorithms
- Preemptive Security
- Synthetic Data
- Domain-Specific Language Models
- Coding via Generative AI
- Disinformation as a Business Threat
- Intelligent Simulation
- Digital Ethics
A Future That Demands Immediate Adaptation
Ray concluded by emphasizing that these technologies are not speculative but rapidly evolving realities. From drugs designed entirely through simulations that will come into use this year to systems capable of detecting and mitigating disinformation campaigns before their impact, the future is being redefined in real-time.
COMPUTEX 2025, under the theme AI Next, thus becomes a showcase not only of innovation but also of a warning: those who do not prepare for this new paradigm risk falling behind in a world driven by data, ethics, and intelligent agents.
