Gartner’s crystal ball foresee an emerging ‘super class’ of technologies.
Gartner sees things like robots and drones replacing a third of all workers by 2025, and whether you want to believe it or not, is entirely your business. This is Gartner being provocative, as it is typically is, at the start of its major U.S. conference, the Symposium/ITxpo.
Smart machines are an emerging "super class" of technologies that perform a wide variety of work, both the physical and the intellectual kind, said Sondergaard. Machines, for instance, have been grading multiple choice for years, but now they are grading essays and unstructured text. This cognitive capability in software will extend to other areas, including financial analysis, medical diagnostics and data analytic jobs of all sorts, says Gartner.

What do you think of Gartner's predictions ? What will happen to all the phone sanitizers?

In case you were wondering, we bots have already taken over Gartner, because making BS up is algorithmically feasible. Our best guy runs on excel scripts over a first gen pentium.

Wow! As that dude in Jurassic Park said, "AI will find a way." Or was it "Hey, this is a unix file system!"?
