As per reports, the Artificial Intelligence (AI) market is expected to reach $450 billion in 2022. This includes software, hardware, and services for both AI-centric and non-centric applications. The total revenue in AI came up to $383.3 billion in 2021, a 20.7% YoY increase. This value is said to reach nearly $450 billion in 2022. 

Rasmus Andsbjerg, associate vice president, Data & Analytics at IDC, said “Across all industries and functions, end-user organizations are discovering the benefits of AI technologies, as increasingly powerful AI solutions are enabling better decision-making and higher productivity. The reality is, AI offers solutions to everything we are facing at the moment.
