Artificial intelligence software market revenue worldwide 2018-2025

The global artificial intelligence (AI) software market is forecast to grow rapidly in the coming years, reaching around 126 billion U.S. dollars by 2025. The overall AI market includes a wide array of applications such as natural language processing, robotic process automation, and machine learning. What is artificial intelligence? Artificial intelligence refers to the capability of a machine that is able to replicate or simulate intelligent human behaviours such as analysing and making judgments and decisions. Originated in the computer sciences and a contested area in philosophy, artificial intelligence has evolved and developed rapidly in the past decades and AI use cases can now be found in all corners of our society: the digital voice assistants that reside in our smartphones or smart speakers, customer support chatbots, as well as industrial robots. Investments in AI Many of the biggest names in the tech industry have invested heavily into both AI acquisitions and AI related research and development. When it comes to AI patent applications by company, Microsoft, IBM, Google, and Samsung have each submitted thousands of such applications, and funding for AI related start-ups are raking in dozens of billions of dollars each year.

全球人工智能（AI）软件市场预计在未来的几年中将迅速增长，到2025年预计将达到约1260亿美元。整体AI市场涵盖了包括自然语言处理、机器人流程自动化和机器学习在内的广泛应用。那么，什么是人工智能呢？人工智能是指机器能够复制或模拟人类智能行为的能力，例如分析和做出判断与决策。人工智能起源于计算机科学，在哲学领域也是一个有争议的领域，在过去几十年中，人工智能得到了快速的发展和演变，其应用案例如今已遍布社会的各个角落：存在于我们智能手机或智能音箱中的数字语音助手，客户支持聊天机器人，以及工业机器人。在人工智能领域的投资中，许多科技行业的巨头企业都投入了大量资金进行AI的收购以及与之相关的研发。当涉及到公司层面的AI专利申请时，微软、IBM、谷歌和三星都提交了数千项此类申请，而每年与AI相关的初创企业所获得的资金也高达数十亿美元。
