“Interest and awareness of AI is at a fever pitch. Every industry and every organisation should be evaluating AI to see how it will affect their business processes and go-to-market efficiencies,”\u00a0\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0David Schubmehl<\/a>, research director at IDC.<\/p>\n

Global spending on Artificial Intelligence (AI) is expected to reach $19.1 billion in 2018, 54 percent growth from 2017, and is on-track to grow to $52.2 billion by 2021.<\/p>\n

Marianne Daquila<\/a>, research manager at IDC, said that<\/a> “enterprise digital transformation strategies are increasingly including multiple cognitive\/artificial intelligence use cases.

Automated customer service agents, increased public safety, preventative maintenance, reduction of fraud, and improved healthcare diagnosis are just the tip of the iceberg driving spend today.”<\/p>\n

When industries are ranked by the total amount that they are spending on AI, retail tops the list with $3.4 billion in 2018, followed by $3.3 billion in finance and banking, and then $2 billion by discrete manufacturing.<\/p>\n
