"With some technologies, it's the ecosystem that really matters. The technology itself might be ready, but if the real world stops it from being adopted, then that's when we have problems. "If the blocker is really around the regulatory framework or the fact that it's a big industry issue, then probably the best option is to work with industry associations and try to build some of the underlying infrastructure that needs to be there.""
"Emerging technologies Forrester believes will be delivering a return on investment in the next two years include GenAI for language, IoT (internet of things) security to combat connected devices cyberthreats, synthetic data and TuringBots that streamline software development."
"This year's Top 10 emerging technologies in 2025 report from Forrester has positioned generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) as a technology IT leaders need to consider over the year or so. According to Forrester, short-term technologies balance AI acceleration with security needs. "GenAI for language and visual content, TuringBots, and IoT security remain on our top 10 list from 2024," the analyst firm noted. But the 2025 report also sees agentic AI and synthetic data making it into the top 10 emerging technologies that Forrester believes will offer measurable return on investment (ROI) in the next two years."
Generative artificial intelligence (GenAI) and TuringBots remain among the top short-term technologies expected to deliver returns within two years. IoT security and synthetic data are highlighted as immediate priorities to address connected-device threats and enable safer model training. Agentic AI, edge intelligence, and autonomous vehicles are identified as medium-term technologies facing adoption delays due to real-world complexity and ecosystem gaps. Adoption barriers often involve regulatory frameworks and industry-wide infrastructure deficits. Collaboration with industry associations and building underlying infrastructure are recommended approaches to overcome blockers and enable measurable ROI from these emerging technologies.
