Gartner has unveiled its 10 technological trends to watch closely in 2025. Among these is what the firm calls “invisible ambient intelligence”, an evolution of IoT which allows, among other things, real-time and low-cost monitoring. cost.

“Invisible ambient intelligence” is emerging as one of the trends highlighted by Gartner in its “Top 10 Strategic Technology Trends for 2025”. According to Gartner, this evolution of IoT consists of a set of technologies integrated into the environment, promoting more natural and intuitive experiences. Invisible ambient intelligence relies on sensors that are becoming increasingly accessible, discreet and capable of collecting data autonomously.

The firm predicts that by 2028, these technologies will lead to various concrete applications, facilitating the tracking and detection of objects at lower cost. Advances in low-power wireless technologies and the development of inexpensive electronic components will drive widespread use of ambient intelligence.

Benefits and Challenges

According to Gartner, ambient intelligence has several benefits. In particular, it enables low-cost, real-time monitoring, improving operational visibility, by leveraging small sensors to provide valuable data on the location and status of a wide range of objects. This technological package also facilitates traceability, while allowing objects to communicate their identity, history and properties. However, ambient intelligence poses a number of challenges. Vendors, for example, will need to consider privacy concerns and obtain explicit consents for certain uses. What’s more, users could disable certain sensors to preserve their privacy.

Potential applications

The use cases for these technologies are varied: in stores, they can automatically adapt lighting, music and product recommendations based on customer behavior. In offices, they are useful for adjusting comfort parameters according to space occupancy. In the healthcare sector, they enable continuous monitoring of patients without the need to use wearables. “In the manufacturing industry, components and machines could communicate with management systems, providing updates on maintenance needs, stock levels or usage patterns. This visibility helps optimize supply chains, prevent equipment downtime and automate replenishment,” adds Nick Jones, analyst at Gartner.
