AI software market growth forecast worldwide 2019-2025

In 2020, the global AI software market is expected to grow approximately 54 percent year-on-year, reaching a forecast size of  22.6 billion U.S. dollars. AI is a term used to describe a variety of technologies referring to the creation of intelligent software or hardware able to learn and solve problems. These include machine learning, computer vision, and natural language processing (NLP), among others. AI is expected to have wide adoption in and implications for every industry vertical and is likely to be one of the next great technological shifts, like the advent of the computer age or the smartphone revolution.  AI Revolution: an increase or decrease in human labor?    Despite its potential to optimize the way many industries operate, AI is feared to replace human labor in some. The automotive and assembly, and telecom industries worldwide are predicted to undergo the biggest workforce cuts in the next three years due to the adoption of AI technologies. However, infrastructure, professional services and high-tech industries are predicted to increase their workforce sizes with the adoption of AI technologies during the same time period. This highlights the somewhat polarizing effects of AI to human jobs. In some industries, the introduction of AI greatly expedites processes and minimizes human error, which leads to the replacement of human labor. While in others, AI creates new hybrid roles where humans enable machines and AI augments human capabilities.  AI’s impacts on global economic    Despite changes in the global workforce, AI is predicted to contribute to global economic growth. A 2018 global survey estimates that AI will contribute to approximately 26.1 percent of China’s GDP in 2030, 14.5 percent of the GDP in North America, and 13.6 percent of UAE’s GDP. Some of these increases in GDP stem from improvements in productivity and product enhancements due to the adoption of AI technologies. For example, AI in the technology, media and telecommunications industry is forecast to increase global GDP in 2030 by 12.5 percent – 5.5 percent from gains associated with productivity, and 7 percent from gains associated with product enhancements.

于2020年，全球人工智能软件市场预计将同比增长约54%，达到预计规模2260亿美元。人工智能一词用于描述多种技术，这些技术涉及智能软件或硬件的创建，能够学习和解决问题。这些技术包括机器学习、计算机视觉和自然语言处理（NLP）等。人工智能预计将在各个行业垂直领域得到广泛应用，并可能成为继计算机时代或智能手机革命之后的下一次重大技术变革。人工智能革命：劳动力的增加还是减少？尽管人工智能有望优化许多行业的运营方式，但人们担心它将取代某些行业的人力劳动。全球汽车和组装以及电信行业预计将在未来三年内因采用人工智能技术而面临最大的人力削减。然而，在基础设施、专业服务和高科技行业，预计将在同一时期内通过采用人工智能技术来增加其劳动力规模。这凸显了人工智能对人类就业的某种两极化影响。在某些行业，人工智能的引入极大地加速了流程并最小化了人为错误，从而导致人力劳动的替代。而在其他行业，人工智能创造了新的混合角色，人类使机器得以运行，而人工智能则增强了人类的能力。人工智能对全球经济的影响尽管全球劳动力结构发生变化，但预计人工智能将对全球经济增长做出贡献。2018年的一项全球调查显示，到2030年，人工智能预计将贡献于中国国内生产总值的约26.1%，北美国内生产总值的14.5%，以及阿联酋国内生产总值的13.6%。这些国内生产总值增长的部分原因来自于采用人工智能技术所带来的生产力和产品改进。例如，预计到2030年，技术、媒体和电信行业的人工智能将使全球国内生产总值增长12.5%至5.5%，这部分增长与生产力的提升相关，7%的增长则与产品改进相关。
