The year 2019 could be a milestone on the road to automation. Annual AI systems expenditure will amount to $ 35.8 billion.
It seems that the coming years will be decisive for the adoption of the Artificial Intelligence. Companies could have reached a certain level of maturity that invites them to putting efforts into this technology. And in fact, automation algorithms and techniques are increasingly evolved.
In this broth, floats the prediction of IDC, which estimates a 44% increase in AI systems spend in 2019, compared to the previous year. This means that the figure will reach $ 35.8 billion, according to calculations by the analyst firm.
The year 2019 also includes other predictions for artificial intelligence. Among them are its projection to become an international political issueor the creation of jobs. And a no-brainer: automation will be applied to more and more sectors.
As for IDC’s prediction, it doesn’t stop here. It seems evident that the influence of AI, whose origin dates back to the times of the reputed Alan Turing, was born in the heat of increasing over the years. And it will do so at an increasing rate, according to the analyst’s estimates. Spending on AI systems will more than double in three years. By 2022, the figure will reach 79,200 million dollars. The annual growth rate would have been 38%.
There are other predictions that support the growing trend of Artificial Intelligence. A study by the consulting firm Statista indicated that the market value of AI in 2025 would be 36.8 billion dollars. The large difference in numbers could be explained by the methodology used in each work. But the growth rate in both cases is impressive.
Where the expense will be made
IDC points out that spending on AI systems will be led by the retail industry. Trading companies will invest $ 5.9 billion in 2019. They will do this mostly in solutions such as automated customer service agents, product recommendations and purchasing advice.
The banking sector will follow in investment. Will be 5,600 million dollars. Your destination will be AI – based solutions for cyber threat detection and prevention, or fraud analysis systems. Other industries that will also stand out in their adoption will be medical suppliers or the field of production and processing.
The study also gives another perspective. Between 2018 and 2022, Artificial Intelligence spending by government agencies will grow by 44.3%. In personal and consumer services the increase will be 43.3%, while in the field of education the rate will be 42.9%.
