In five years, you won\u2019t be able to spell IT without AI, Gartner predicted today.<\/p>\n
VP analysts Alicia Mullery and Daryl Plummer delivered the sentiment at their keynote address at Gartner\u2019s IT Symposium in Gold Coast, Australia, as reported by The Register<\/a>. Gartner believes that by 2030, all work performed by an IT department will involve the use of AI. That\u2019s a progression from the 81 percent of IT work that\u2019s done today without any use of AI, per Mullery.<\/p>\n By 2030, not only will all IT work rely on AI, but much of it will be performed by bots without the help of humans, Gartner\u2019s analysts said. They predicted that in five years, 25 percent of IT work will be totally performed by bots, while 75 percent of IT workloads will be performed by humans with the help of AI.<\/p>\n This isn\u2019t a welcome prediction for AI naysayers, who often point to potential job losses as a reason to be dubious about AI. Today, many organizations already use AI to complete tasks that humans had historically performed in other industries, including recruiting<\/a>, journalism<\/a>, customer service<\/a>, and even social media influencing<\/a>.<\/p>\n No IT jobs bloodbath<\/p>\n The IT industry has already prepared for thousands of AI-driven job losses<\/a> and will likely see more. Eventually, though, AI will be something that everyone in IT will have to become familiar with, if Gartner\u2019s predictions prove correct.<\/p>\n Despite the growing role of AI-automated workloads in IT, Gartner doesn\u2019t expect the technology to create an \u201cAI jobs bloodbath,\u201d Plummer said. Currently, only 1 percent of job losses are the result of AI, per Gartner\u2019s numbers.<\/p>\n That doesn\u2019t mean there won\u2019t be any AI-related job losses in IT, though. Plummer and Mullery believe that AI will take away entry-level IT jobs. This aligns with some of what we\u2019re already seeing today. According to data from<\/a> labor research firm Revelio Labs, \u201chighly AI exposed entry-level jobs have declined by over 40 percent\u201d from January 2023 to July 2025. In August, Goldman Sachs Research predicted<\/a> that AI \u201ccould displace 6 to 7 percent of the US workforce if AI is widely adopted,\u201d but noted that the impact would likely be \u201ctransitory\u201d as new jobs are created.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In five years, you won\u2019t be able to spell IT without AI, Gartner predicted today.
