Corporate investment in artificial intelligence (AI) grew consistently up to 2019 when there was a surge in minority stake investment, pushing growth beyond historic levels. This was then matched again in 2021 by a considerable jump in merger and acquisition investments as well as a doubling in private investment in AI projects. The incredibly growth was likely caused by greater interest in technology solutions during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic. In 2022 the investment levels subsided compared to the previous year, with a 30 percent reduction in both private and merger investment.
