Most-promising AI Startups of 2024: In today’s digital economy, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a revolutionary force in the digital age and is at the forefront of technological advancements, driving significant advancements and innovations and shaping the future of humanity across societies, governance, and nearly every industry.
The launch of ChatGPT by OpenAI in late 2022 has led to the unprecedented growth of the AI industry, with the global AI market size projected to grow at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 36.6% from 2024 to 2030, according to a forecast by Grand View Research.
Even tech giants like Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, IBM, and Microsoft have been investing heavily in AI research and development (R&D), substantially raising the industry’s market capitalization.
According to the IBM survey, approximately 42% of enterprise-scale organisations have integrated AI into their operations, while around 38% have implemented generative AI within their workflows.
This has resulted in attracting a wave of new entrepreneurs and founders to the industry, with the AI market projected to reach a staggering $407 billion by 2027, as predicted by MarketsandMarkets.
