AI common in the workplace by 2025, says Gartner - TechHQ

Smart assistants could become common AI presences in the office. Artificial intelligence (AI) will become "mainstream" enterprise technology by 2025, according to Gartner analysts at its Digital Workplace Summit in London. As reported by ComputerWorld, AI programs will become commonplace in our offices, as investments in digital transformation continue, and applications of the technology continue to permeate business operations. In particular, digital voice assistants which have been well-received among consumers could serve as'receptionists' in the office environment, booking meeting rooms, or on-boarding new recruits, for example. In fact, Gartner expects 25 percent of digital workers to be using AI voice assistants within the next two years, and reportedly urged businesses to begin developing skills in their deployment, management, and security.
