data-contrast=\"auto\">The findings were revealed during Gartner\u2019s ongoing IT Symposium\/Xpo, where the business and technology insights company announced the list of trends they expected organizations to focus on in 2026.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gene Alvarez, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner<\/span><\/b><span data-contrast=\"auto\">, announced the trends at the symposium, stating:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">\u201cTechnology leaders face a pivotal year in 2026, where disruption, innovation, and risk are expanding at unprecedented speed,<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The top strategic technology trends identified for 2026 are tightly interwoven and reflect the realities of an AI-powered, hyperconnected world where organizations must drive responsible innovation, operational excellence, and digital trust.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>While the announcements focused on the wider technology space, several of them directly relate to the customer experience and service space.<\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Multiagent Systems<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This is a collection of AI agents that can work across either one or multiple environments and can achieve both simple and complex tasks.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As described by Alvarez, adopting the Multiagent System allows organizations to automate their complex business processes, upgrade their teams, and find new ways for human and AI agents to work together.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These agents can be used across customer service to increase work efficiency, delivery time, and reuse previously proven solutions across workflows to reduce risk, meaning scaling operations would be simpler and allow adaptations to be implemented quickly.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Domain-Specific Language Models\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This trend is an emerging demand from CIOs and CEOs so that business value is higher from AI.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">The DSLMs are designed to fill the gap created by \u2018generic\u2019 large language models (LLMs), which often fall short of specialized tasks, with greater accuracy, lowered costs and better compliance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Unlike LLMS, the DSLMs allow for training or fine-tuning on specialized data for any industry, function, or process, whilst also providing higher accuracy levels, reliability, and compliance for a business\u2019s needs.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gartner has also predicted that over half of the GenAI models used by enterprises will become domain-specific by 2028.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As explained by <strong>Tori Paulman<\/strong>, a <strong>VP Analyst at Gartner<\/strong>, one of the most critical differentiators for successful agent deployments is context.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These DSLM agents can interpret industry-related context and make smart decisions even in brand-new environments, as they thrive in accuracy, explainability, and decision-making. <\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This allows CX agents to minimize customer errors and understand customer queries at a higher level of accuracy.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">AI Security Platforms<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">As a current trending topic in the CX space, AI security platforms can offer a unified way to introduce third-party and custom-built AI applications into a system.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These platforms centralize visibility, enforce usage policies, and protect against various AI-specialized threats such as prompt injections, data leakage, and rogue agent actions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This has been a widespread issue for customer service in recent months across a number of\u00a0industries, including <\/span><a

service handling large amounts of sensitive information, security is of the utmost importance.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These platforms then become crucial tools for CX, helping CIOs to introduce use policies, monitor AI activity, and add robust guardrails to stop unwanted actions.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">Gartner has also predicted that by 2028, over 1 in 2 enterprises will adopt AI security platforms to protect their AI assets.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span data-contrast=\"auto\">AI-Native Development Platforms<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">These platforms have leveraged Generative AI to design simpler and faster software to allow organizations to increase their application output.<\/span><span

data-contrast=\"auto\">By positioning \u201cforward-deployed engineers\u201d in a business, they can work with domain experts to develop new applications, as well as have small groups of employees paired with AI to expand the speed of application development with the same number of developers.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">A number of other companies have already adopted this trend to allow domain experts to produce the software themselves without additional technical knowledge to ensure that security and governance guardrails are established.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">This allows CX leaders to build applications themselves without prior knowledge of coding, using products such as AI co-pilots to assist in workflow automations, dashboards, and agent-assist tools.<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;134233117&quot;:false,&quot;134233118&quot;:false,&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335551550&quot;:1,&quot;335551620&quot;:1,&quot;335559685&quot;:0,&quot;335559737&quot;:0,&quot;335559738&quot;:240,&quot;335559739&quot;:240,&quot;335559740&quot;:279}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-contrast=\"auto\">By 2030, Gartner further predicts that these AI-native development platforms will likely result in 8 out of 10 organizations decreasing their software engineering teams to work alongside AI.<\/span><span
