Gartner: Generative AI to power 75% of analytics by 2027
Gartner has forecast that by 2027, 75% of new analytics content will be contextualised for intelligent applications through generative AI, a shift expected to enable closer connections between insights and actions across business software and processes. According to Gartner, this change signifies a move away from traditional analytic tools, instead ushering in an era where AI-driven analytics supports more dynamic and autonomous decision-making capabilities. Georgia O'Callaghan, Director and Analyst at Gartner, outlined the implications of this anticipated evolution: "We're moving from an era where analytic tools help business people make decisions, to a future where GenAI-powered analytics becomes perceptive and adaptive. This will enable dynamic and autonomous decisions that have the potential to transform enterprise and consumer software, business processes and models." Backing this projection, Gartner cited results from a survey of 403 analytics or AI leaders, conducted from October to December 2024. The survey found that over half of organisations currently use AI tools for generating automated insights and for employing natural language queries within analytics and AI development. However, Gartner noted that the present systems are predominantly static in nature, often lacking the capacity for truly dynamic or automated analytics delivery. Autonomous analytics platforms Gartner further predicts that within the next two years, augmented analytics platforms will evolve to become autonomous. By 2027, these platforms are expected to fully manage and execute 20% of business processes, enabled by their ability to operate proactively, collaboratively, and within continuously updated contexts. The next phase, as described by Gartner, will see the integration of AI agents and generative AI-driven technologies that can continuously monitor changing conditions and interpret environments such as market shifts, changes in customer behaviour, or supply chain disruptions. O'Callaghan explained the benefits of this evolution: "Perceptive analytics will use AI agents and other GenAI-fueled technologies to continuously monitor evolving conditions and perceive the target environment, such as market shifts, customer behaviour changes or supply chain disruptions." She added, "Guidance and analysis can then be autonomously adjusted in response, creating a more resilient and responsive analytical infrastructure. As these capabilities emerge and be adopted by organisations, their potential to reshape business operations and drive growth will only continue to expand." Managing risks Despite these potential benefits, Gartner research also draws attention to the risks associated with increasing reliance on perceptive analytics, particularly regarding the level of autonomous action allowed without human validation. Such over-reliance could lead to negative consequences, including unforeseen errors, potential reputational damage, and regulatory scrutiny. One of the key risks outlined is "agent drift," where AI systems gradually move away from intended goals due to evolving data or other interactions. To mitigate this, Gartner points to the emergence of guardian agents—systems specifically designed to monitor AI operations and enforce compliance with policies and rules, keeping analytics within safe and approved boundaries. O'Callaghan highlighted the importance of governance, stating, "Building guardian agents will need to be a key focal point of new governance initiatives for data and analytics leaders, as agentic and perceptive analytics become the standard way of insight delivery across platforms." Industry response Gartner analysts are continuing to provide analysis and recommendations on developments within data and analytics strategies, with a particular emphasis on driving business value and best practices for deploying AI responsibly within organisations. The research underlines that as generative AI continues to influence analytics platforms, companies will need to adopt new governance models and develop mechanisms to prevent unintended system behaviours, ensuring that the promise of intelligent applications is realised safely and effectively.

Gartner: AI agents set to automate half of decisions by 2027
Gartner has released its latest predictions for data and analytics trends, outlining the key developments expected to shape business practices through 2025 and beyond. According to Gartner, by 2027, half of all business decisions will be either augmented or automated by artificial intelligence (AI) agents. This projection comes alongside warnings about risks related to synthetic data and recommendations for improving executive AI literacy to drive better financial outcomes. AI agents and decision intelligence Gartner analysts predict that decision intelligence—which integrates data, analytics, and AI to assist or automate complex judgement—will see increasing adoption. By 2027, 50% of business decisions are expected to be supported by AI agents handling complex analysis and data retrieval. These developments are driven by the need for organisations to make faster and more informed decisions in a data-rich environment. "Nearly everything today – from the way we work to how we make decisions – is directly or indirectly influenced by AI. But it doesn't deliver value on its own – AI needs to be tightly aligned with data, analytics and governance to enable intelligent, adaptive decisions and actions across the organisation." This statement from Carlie Idoine, Vice President Analyst at Gartner, places emphasis on the need for effective governance and the architecture surrounding the use of AI. Idoine added, "AI agents for decision intelligence aren't a panacea, nor are they infallible. They must be used collectively with effective governance and risk management. Human decisions still require proper knowledge, as well as data and AI literacy." Executive AI literacy and financial performance The report highlights a direct link between executive understanding of AI and an organisation's financial results. Gartner forecasts that, by 2027, organisations prioritising AI literacy among executives will see financial performance improve by 20% compared to those that do not. This is attributed to more strategic investments in AI and better management of opportunities and risks. Gartner recommends that leaders introduce upskilling programmes for executives, suggesting activities such as developing domain-specific prototypes to make AI applications more tangible and actionable. Synthetic data: Risks and management As organisations use synthetic data to train AI models—often to enhance data privacy or expand datasets—Gartner flags potential risks related to governance, accuracy, and compliance. The firm predicts that 60% of data and analytics leaders will experience critical failures in synthetic data management by 2027. Idoine said, "To manage these risks, organisations need effective metadata management. Metadata provides the context, lineage and governance needed to track, verify and manage synthetic data responsibly, which is essential to maintaining AI accuracy and meeting compliance standards." Build versus buy in GenAI The report also looks ahead to the development of generative AI (GenAI) applications, predicting that by 2028, 30% of GenAI pilots transitioning to large-scale production will involve bespoke builds rather than off-the-shelf software solutions. This trend is attributed to the flexibility and control afforded by in-house development, though Gartner notes it is critical for organisations to assess costs, available skills, integration requirements, and regulatory factors before making a decision to build or buy. Semantics and data readiness Another area highlighted is the importance of semantics and metadata within AI-ready data. Poor semantics can lead to AI hallucinations, increase computational costs, and reduce model accuracy. Gartner expects that by 2027, companies focusing on semantics in their AI data will increase their GenAI model accuracy by up to 80% and potentially lower costs by up to 60%. This is seen as key to improving the efficiency and reliability of AI agents in business decision making. AI in the boardroom Looking further ahead, Gartner predicts that by 2029, 10% of global boards will employ AI advice to challenge executive decisions that are material to their businesses. The growing use of AI at board level will reinforce the need for robust data governance, clear regulatory policies, and reputation management. Boards are encouraged to set firm boundaries around AI involvement and define clear oversight and compliance frameworks to maintain strategic control. Gartner clients have access to detailed predictions and recommendations on these trends, including guidance on the roles and responsibilities of Chief Data and Analytics Officers in ensuring AI delivers business value while managing emerging risks.

Adeptia unveils AIDP to boost enterprise document automation
Adeptia has introduced AIDP, an AI-driven Intelligent Document Processing solution designed for enterprises operating in highly regulated sectors across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments. The new AIDP offering is centred on helping business users to automatically extract insights from unstructured documents, such as invoices, purchase orders, and loan applications, using advanced technologies including machine learning (ML) and Natural Language Processing (NLP). Adeptia states that the solution can interpret a range of document types, even those with complex layouts and handwritten content, across large, multi-page files. Automation and accuracy Adeptia's leadership highlights that while Optical Character Recognition (OCR) has traditionally been the core approach for digitising paper and physical documents, the evolving needs of enterprises demand solutions that can also interpret the meaning and contextual information within documents. OCR alone, the company notes, is not sufficient for modern requirements. "Traditional OCR, while a good starting point, often falls short in delivering the end-to-end automation and data accuracy that modern enterprises require," said Charles Nardi, Chief Executive Officer, Adeptia. "Adeptia AIDP offers a powerful business case built on demonstrable ROI, including significant cost reduction, enhanced operational efficiency, superior data accuracy and quality, and actionable insights that lead to a competitive advantage through intelligent automation." Adeptia has designed AIDP to extract information and facilitate its integration into existing business applications and proprietary systems, which is crucial for organisations that rely on robust internal records management. The company says this feature enables the seamless transition of unstructured data into formats more suitable for analysis and integration. Features and integration The AIDP platform is built on several AI-driven capabilities. These include generative AI for document processing, high levels of data extraction accuracy, advanced validation and enrichment of extracted data, and integration with enterprise workflows through AI-based data mapping and business rules engines. In addition to these, AIDP handles large documents and complex variations, while also enabling human oversight for data verification where necessary. The 'humans-in-the-loop' element allows end-users to intervene, review, or validate extracted information in a structured format before that data is processed or moved into business systems. This is paired with AI-based rules that help ensure the accuracy and quality of the information at the point of extraction. Enterprise demands Adeptia describes AIDP as suitable for deploying in cloud-first organisations as well as in more traditional on-premises or hybrid scenarios, which is particularly relevant for regulated sectors with unique compliance requirements. According to its announcement, AIDP's data extraction not only digitises content but is designed to reveal previously hidden insights within business documents. This may help users leverage data more effectively and quickly, often reducing the time from extraction to action to mere minutes. Features highlighted by Adeptia for AIDP include seamless integration support, accelerated document-driven workflows, and the capability to support both automated and manual review processes, all while maintaining high data quality standards. Charles Nardi echoed the focus on return on investment as well as reliability, stating the new solution provides "superior data accuracy and quality, and actionable insights that lead to a competitive advantage through intelligent automation." Adeptia says it will continue to support enterprise integration needs with tools to handle first-mile data at scale, aiming to help organisations improve operational efficiency and realise cost savings through automation and AI-driven processing.
