Businesses are investing increasing amounts of their money and resources into AI

• AI investment is forecast to approach $158 billion globally by 2025, more than tripling from the $47bn in 2022, according to Goldman Sachs
• This is a conservative estimate, as there are others that see AI market size worldwide getting to a whopping $2 trillion by 2030 (source: Next Move Strategy Consulting)
• Market interest in AI has increased dramatically, with more than 16% of companies sharing AI on their earning calls (Source: Goldman Sachs, FactSet, GS Data Works)
• AI-related investment could peak at more than 2% of GDP (source: Goldman Sachs)
