Forrester’s Technology & Security Predictions for 2025 offer a clear message: the AI hype cycle is cooling and real execution is what comes next.

One of the report’s strongest takeaways is that AIOps adoption will triple in 2025, as tech leaders try to manage spiraling infrastructure complexity and reduce technical debt. With more than 50% of enterprises already entering the year with moderate to high tech debt, automation will become a lifeline.

For companies building or using agentic AI architectures, the outlook is even more sobering: 75% of DIY agentic AI efforts will fail, according to the report. Complexity, unclear outcomes, and lack of internal expertise are the key culprits.
