Artificial intelligence (AI) worldwide - statistics & facts

Artificial intelligence evokes images of supercomputer assistants, machines that can think creatively, and, to some, scenes from their favorite sci-fi movie. The reality, despite not being as futuristic, is not far off from this. AI refers to the ability of a computer or machine to mimic the competencies of the human mind, which often learns from previous experiences to understand and respond to language, decisions, and problems. The market for AI technologies is vast, amounting to around 244 billion U.S. dollars in 2025 and is expected to grow well beyond that to over 800 million U.S. dollars by 2030.
