1. Spending and infrastructure
Forrester predicts AI will account for 20% of all business technology spending in 2027, with global technology spending forecast to reach $6.1 trillion. A quarter of AI infrastructure requests for proposals will require non-NVIDIA accelerators as enterprises seek lower costs and reduced supply-chain risks.
2. Other AI and quantum risks
Forrester expects an AI-generated software bug or regression to cause a global, cross-industry outage as development outpaces testing capacity. It also predicts a quantum computing breakthrough will force strategic reassessments; 87% of organizations familiar with quantum currently allocate no resources to it.
