In 2021, 47.5 percent of respondents claim the most impactful disruptive technology to be AI/Machine Learning. This is a decrease from the previous years. However, it should be noted that this may be the case because artificial intelligence are less seen as disruptive technologies, as they are already widely implemented and commonly used.
