Most organizations are focused on deploying agentic AI. Fewer are asking whether their workforce has the judgment to work alongside it effectively. IDC's Gina Smith PhD has built a framework around exactly that question: 8 trainable human capability clusters that determine whether your people can actually collaborate with agentic AI in a way that produces better decisions, not just faster ones. If workforce strategy is on your agenda, this is where to start. 🔗 https://bit.ly/49WdZk2 #AgenticAI #WorkforceStrategy #HumanSkills #IDCResearch

$1.6 trillion. That's what three decades of labor arbitrage built. Agentic AI is replacing the economics behind that model. Service providers that wait to adapt won't be disrupted slowly. They'll find themselves bidding on work that's already been automated, productized, or captured by AI-native competitors. In her latest IDC blog, Dina Capelle maps the three waves of IT services evolution and explains why this one lands differently than the last two. 👉 https://bit.ly/4uXiiE9 #AgenticAI #ITServices #AIStrategy #FutureOfIT

The global semiconductor market is forecast to hit $1.29 trillion in 2026. That's 52.8% growth year over year. DRAM revenues alone are projected to nearly triple, driven by demand for high-bandwidth memory from hyperscalers. Hyperscaler capex is expected to reach $600 billion this year. And by 2030, data center semiconductors will account for nearly half the entire semiconductor market. AI is no longer a demand catalyst. It is the demand foundation.
