Technology Trends From Gartner, Gemini, Claude, Copilot & ChatGPT – Forbes
Question mark, uncertainty, unknown, fear, inquiry, investigation, examination, interrogation, … [+]
At 3:01 PM on Tuesday, March 26, 2024, I got an email from the Gartner Group titled “Gartner’s Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2024.” When I saw the list again I decided to ask some other professionals if they had their own lists which may or may not agree with Gartner’s. No surprise here: my always available, free colleagues include Gemini, ChatGPT, Claude and Copilot. In less than 5 minutes I had their lists. I don’t know how long it took Gartner to develop theirs. (For this exercise I only used free digital consultants.)
But this is not about easily-developed dueling lists. No, it’s about precedent, credibility, standards and most of all expertise. Gartner should be the most worried because it now has really credible competitors – that it helped train! The larger issue is about the source, nature, purpose and relevance of expertise. If we can call upon (free) digital colleagues to solve the same problems that expensive humans try to solve – maybe a little better/maybe a little worse – doesn’t that change the game? It sure does.
Let’s look at the lists and think about expertise and impact. Here’s Gartner’s:
Here’s Claude’s:
Here’s ChatGPT’s:
Here’s Gemini’s:
Copilot also has a list:
The lists – all developed from the same prompt – have similarities and differences. But who’s “right” – and does it even matter? If I want a specific list I can just ask. I can ask Gemini – for free – about the technology trends I should focus on the most. For example:
“I’m in the sports betting industry. Which strategic technology trends should I focus on the most?”
“Given your focus on the sports betting industry, here are the top 3 strategic technology trends you should prioritize in 2024:
“Personalized Experiences with AI and Machine Learning (AI/ML): This trend offers immense potential for the sports betting industry. AI/ML can analyze user data (betting history, preferences, etc.) to create personalized recommendations, adjust odds dynamically based on real-time factors, and even offer in-play betting suggestions. This level of personalization can significantly enhance user engagement and potentially increase revenue.
“Immersive Experiences with Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): Imagine placing a bet while feeling virtually transported to the stadium, or using AR overlays to view real-time statistics on top of a live broadcast. VR and AR can create a more interactive and engaging betting experience, potentially attracting new customers and increasing their investment in wagers.
“Frictionless Transactions with Blockchain Technology and Cryptocurrencies: Blockchain offers transparency, security, and potentially faster transaction processing compared to traditional methods. Cryptocurrencies can provide a more private and efficient way to handle deposits and withdrawals. Integrating these technologies can streamline the betting process, improve user trust, and potentially attract new customers comfortable with crypto transactions.”
I spent 30 seconds on that one. Or I could spend a few minutes and ask a bunch of digital consultants what they think. I can pursue lots of “second opinions,” something that’s hard to do in the human/physical world unless I have deep pockets and lots of time.
Companies that sell ideas need to examine expertise, how they package, differentiate and sell ideas and how they can cost-effectively compete with “Einstein in the Basement.” Or maybe they should just ask the same digital consultants what they think before they meet with their clients (hoping their clients haven’t done the same thing).
Yes, it’s getting weird out there, and this is only the beginning.
