The United States had by far the greatest amount of AI companies in major western economies in 2023, with around 15,000 companies engaging in the field. The EU was considerably behind, with only 6,000. The UK alone at nearly 9,000, a significant achievement in comparison to the immense economic size of its competitors.
Strong AI market
The AI market is expected to show considerable growth in the coming decade, expanding from 200 billion U.S. dollars in 2023 to nearly two trillion U.S. dollars in 2030. This market covers a vast number of industries, being involved in everything from supply chains, marketing, research, analysis, and numerous other fields. Chatbots, AI-producing art, mobile applications, and natural language processing are all major trends in the AI sphere.
Enterprises and AI
Both generative AI and machine learning, the most basic form of AI, are already in wide usage among companies worldwide. Commercial leaders still feel that their enterprises use these AI tools too little, with most companies using generative AI rarely and machine learning only sometimes. Machine learning, as the most common AI form, is used considerably more but this may shift as more advanced generative AI models spring into existence.
