Generative artificial intelligence is seeing lightning-fast adoption on a global scale. According to a recent study by International Data Corporation (IDC), generative AI use within companies jumped from 55% in 2023 to 75% in 2024.
This statistic illustrates the growing integration of these innovative technologies across various economic sectors, laying a solid foundation for a digital revolution.
Generative AI: Growing global adoption
The momentum of generative AI reflects an increased desire among companies to capitalize on these technologies to optimize their efficiency and productivity.
Multiple sectors are actively exploring various applications, ranging from content creation to task automation, as well as data analysis. This trend highlights the urgency of adopting technological solutions to remain competitive in the market.
Emergence of new players
While established platforms like OpenAI’s ChatGPT continue to dominate AI worldwide, or our own Yiaho platform which offers a free ChatGPT in French that is being used more and more, new players are also innovating:
- Elon Musk’s Grok: Developed by xAI, Grok is starting to make a name for itself. This generative AI model focuses on real-time communication and responses, offering a smooth and intuitive user experience.
- Google’s Gemini: With advanced capabilities, Gemini aims to compete with the best generative AI solutions on the market. Integrated into various Google products, it offers powerful tools for content creation and data analysis.
- DeepSeek: This Chinese AI is emerging as a strong competitor, using advanced algorithms to provide generative AI solutions tailored to the needs of Asian businesses, while positioning itself as a unique alternative on the global market.
AI: Anticipated economic growth through 2030
Also according to the IDC study, titled The Global Impact of Artificial Intelligence on the Economy and Jobs, AI is expected to generate a cumulative economic impact of $19.9 trillion by 2030, representing 3.5% of global GDP.
This impact will transform the AI landscape, marking a transition from isolated experiments to large-scale adoption.
IDC anticipates that 2025 and 2026 will be pivotal years for AI, following the frenzy observed in 2023 and 2024 when many AI applications first emerged.
From 2027 and beyond, AI will no longer be seen as a mere gadget, but as an integrated element in all business processes.
