In 2022 the government of the United Kingdom assessed that some 3170 companies had AI production and sale as part of their enterprise. The difference between dedicated and diversified companies is considerable when one looks at the size of companies. Diversified companies tended to dominate the large and medium company category. This is in all likelyhood because AI development is a complex process and small companies do not have the means to diversify to alternative products. Micro companies were by and large dedicated AI production companies, specializing in AI development.
