Also, AI could add $15.7 trillion to what the world earns by 2030. That's like adding another China and India to the world's economy, which is huge.

AI is going to help China's economy a lot, giving it a 26% lift by 2030. North America will also get a big boost of 14.5%. Together, they'll add $10.7 trillion to the world's money, which is about 70% of all the good stuff AI is doing for the economy everywhere.

2. Increasing Use and Expansion of AI in Businesses

Companies are using AI to make their work easier and faster. According to Forbes, they are applying AI in many different areas. The most common uses are in customer service (56%) and cybersecurity (51%).

3. The majority of consumers are concerned about businesses using AI

Many people are worried about how companies use AI every day. This shows that companies need to be clear about how they use AI and make sure they use it in a good way. This will help people trust companies more.

4. 65% of consumers say they’ll still trust businesses that use AI

5. Need for New Standards

AI tools are getting really good at passing tests. Last year, they started doing this a lot, but this year, it's even more obvious. This means these AI systems are now too good for the old tests. They need harder challenges to really show what they can do.

6. The Big Impact on Nature from Training AI

Large AI models release a lot of carbon into the air. This is due to their huge size, the energy used by data centers, and how the electricity grid works. GPT-3, for example, created the most carbon. Even BLOOM, which uses energy more efficiently, needed 433 megawatt-hours of power for training. This is enough energy to run an average American house for 41 years.

7. More Countries Make Laws About AI

In the last year, governments in 127 countries made 37 new laws that talk about 'artificial intelligence'. The USA made the most laws (9), followed by Spain (5) and the Philippines (4). These laws include different things. For example, in the Philippines, they made a law to change education to better handle new tech like AI. In Spain, they focused on a law to make sure AI is fair and responsible. And in the USA, there's a new program to train people in AI through their Office of Management and Budget. Since 2016, there have been 123 laws about AI, with most of them made in the last few years.

8. Increase Spending on AI

By the end of 2023, the cloud service market could reach $150 billion, growing 30% each year. AI will likely boost this growth. Big cloud companies and specialized service providers can use AI to attract new customers and sell more. Companies like Salesforce and HubSpot are already using AI to offer new services. This trend could make cloud software more appealing and lead to more demand for data management tools. Overall, AI will help expand the cloud computing market.

9. AI Could Help Secure the Digital Economy

In 2022, $16.5 billion was spent on AI in cybersecurity. AI is starting to be used for cyber defense and monitoring IT systems for security threats. Companies like Dynatrace, CrowdStrike, and ZScaler provide these AI solutions. AI could improve responses to cyberattacks and help prevent them. However, AI also creates new threats, like malware and phishing scams. Efforts are underway to counter these risks. AI can also address the shortage of cybersecurity professionals, boosting productivity in this rapidly growing field.

10. AI is taking over jobs in Customer Service

AI technology is set to take over many jobs done by humans, especially in customer service. Experts think this field will change the most because of AI. AI is good for jobs that are repetitive and don't need much creativity. Some companies are already using AI in customer service. By 2024, it's expected that all kinds of industries, like telecom, retail, and finance, will use AI for customer service. This includes AI chatbots, virtual assistants, and AI-generated voice messages.
