Gartner Announces Top Predictions for Data and Analytics in 2026
Gartner, Inc., a business and technology insights company, has announced the top data and analytics (D&A) predictions for 2026 and beyond. AI is expected to have an impact across all aspects of data and analytics, including leadership, governance, talent, market dynamics, the need for context, and the world beyond text-based models.
“The pace of change in data and artificial intelligence is so rapid that each year feels like stepping into a new chapter of a science-fiction novel,” said Rita Sallam, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner. “In 2026, the boundaries between human, machine, and organizational intelligence will continue to blur. Businesses rely on data in unprecedented ways, with AI systems not just supporting us, but collaborating as partners. These predictions offer leaders a roadmap to prepare for the opportunities and challenges that lie ahead.”
Gartner analysts presented these top predictions for D&A at the Gartner Data & Analytics Summit, taking place in Orlando through today.
