Artificial intelligence (AI), depending on how you look at it, is either technology that will soon take over the world, bringing to an end the planetary dominance of the human race, or it is the beginning of a new utopian society where humans needn’t work at all. Stratecast subscribes to neither of these extremes, instead viewing AI as simply the next development in automation: one which will finally deliver a true information age.
In recent Stratecast Big Data surveys, we found that 20% of all companies we talk to have plans to adopt AI powered solutions. We have projected that the market for AI applications and services, generally, will be nearly $40 billion by 2025.
