The Telecommunications, Consumer, Advertising, Business Services, and Healthcare Industry Sectors Will Lead in AI Adoption, Amidst a Growing Field of Nearly 300 Real-World AI Use Cases Across 30 Industries
The artificial intelligence (AI) market is entering a dynamic phase of growth where adoption in the enterprise sector continues unabated, but there are questions emerging within research and academic circles about whether the technologies fueling the AI revolution, particularly deep learning, might be hitting a bottleneck. The recent controversy surrounding Facebook and data privacy, AI safety and explainability with Uber’s self-driving car fatality, or questions about authenticity and the power of generative algorithms to create fake images and video, are all issues that highlight the challenges facing AI in 2018.
Despite these challenges, according to a new report from Tractica, the commercial outlook for AI has never been stronger. The market intelligence firm forecasts that global revenue from AI software implementations will increase from $8.1 billion in 2018 to $105.8 billion by 2025. This forecast represents a significant upgrade of Tractica’s previous projections, last published at the end of 2017, owing to the addition of new real-world use cases across multiple industries, as well as increased guidance for key use cases in several sectors.
Tractica forecasts that the top 10 industries in terms of AI adoption and spending between 2018 and 2025 will include:
- Telecommunications
- Consumer
- Advertising
- Business Services
- Healthcare
- Retail
- Automotive
- Legal
- Public Sector
- Insurance
“The types of challenges currently faced by the AI sector are to be expected as we move from a hype phase into a reality phase as part of the cycle of market development,” says research director Aditya Kaul. “Tractica sees these challenges as part of the maturity curve for AI, where the next few years will see a sobering of expectations, while the momentum around use cases and applications continues to build.”
