It is inevitable that spending on AI technology will increase at a rate that will likely see an exponential curve in investment over the course of the next decade. A new report states that Global spending on AI is ‘expected to double in four years’... but this is just the tip of the iceberg.
As AI technology becomes more and more intertwined in our daily lives, so will investment. This will likely run parallel with major AI led adoptions, perhaps as a result of AI playing a pivotal role in solving real major world problems; especially if it proves to be a important component in understanding the current pandemic and assisting with treatments, along with predicting future outbreaks.
A breakthrough in AI showing itself to be far more than just "clever tech" will result in investment in AI technologies, the like of which we probably haven't seen, even in the Internet age.
