Gartner Group: Planning Its Next Generation of Marketing Pitches
August 25, 2020
If you are a fan of Gartner, a mid-tier consulting firm, you will want to navigate to “Gartner Hype-Cycle Adds 20+ New Technologies.” Now the “new” part interests me. Examples include:
- AI-assisted design (maybe Eli Attia’s method or Google’s approach?)
- Biodegradable sensors
- Differential privacy (like having one work mobile and one personal mobile?)
- Composable enterprise (I have zero clue what this means)
- Health passports (like a receipt for passage to Poveglia (a Plague Island in 1793?)
- Social distancing technologies.
The write up reports:
Trust models based on responsible authorities are being replaced by algorithmic trust models to ensure privacy and security of data, source of assets and identity of individuals and things. Algorithmic trust helps to ensure that organizations will not be exposed to the risk and costs of losing the trust of their customers, employees and partners. Emerging technologies tied to algorithmic trust include secure access service edge (SASE), differential privacy, authenticated provenance, bring your own identity, responsible AI and explainable AI.
When will AI create the Gartner hype cycle? Will use of that technology generate “trust”? Gobble down a biodegradable sensor and social distance. The future of consulting is … no human consultants. That might be a step forward? Come to think of it. An AI generating a hype chart might actually use numbers and data, not opinions of those good enough to work at a mid tier consulting firm.
