Gartner just published a guide to burning AI budget.
It is called “Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2026.”
In the next weeks it will land on every CIO and CTO desk, get copied by every consulting PPTX factory, and then get digested by LLMs, so yes, inevitably also by Deloitte (if you know what I mean;-))
And then it becomes the AI strategy for the next three years.
I wrote an AI realist article where I went through the trends, checked the sources, and added research and arguments for why following this list as a roadmap is one of the fastest ways to spend your budget, get no measurable ROI, and in some cases even incur net losses.
