The artificial intelligence (AI) market has been growing at an exponential pace over the last couple of years, thanks in large part to consumer-ready products such as ChatGPT, Google Bard and IBM Watson that are now being used commonly across the globe. 

To this point, global management consulting firm McKinsey believes that anywhere between 50% and 60% of all organizations today are already making use of AI-centric tools, with this number expected to grow sharply in the near future.

This rise is not unfounded and is, in fact, being helmed by certain technological trends — such as generative AI and natural language processing (NLP) — which have led many experts to project that AI’s contribution to the global economy will rise to $15.7 trillion by 2030, a figure that is more than the current gross domestic product (GDP) of global powerhouses India and China combined.

With the technology’s growing importance, market and technological observers have noted several possible trends affecting the AI sector or driven by AI.
