Artificial intelligence’s impact on a global scale is definitely being felt in the world of digital marketing far and wide. Already, AI’s transformed numerous industries. Employees at transportation companies can more accurately predict arrival times now. Food manufacturing companies can more easily monitor production, down to the detail of being able to identify contamination or toxins in food. AI is helping scientists learn how to better treat diseases like cancer. Farmers are even using it to improve and increase yields, all the while utilizing less resources.

According to a 2017 report, AI contributes more than $15.7 trillion to the global economy every year and that number’s only expected to rise. A lot of this development and financial reward is coming from the national economy of the US, the UK, Germany, France, Mexico, Poland, South Africa, and Thailand, among others. Approximately 27-30 percent of companies in these and other parts of the world have already implemented AI into key processes, with more having launched AI pilot projects. Digging deeper into how AI is changing the way business is done industry-by-industry, we want to highlight a few categories of business where the most gains are being made.

Where is AI headed next?

AI is far from having reached its real potential. As we look ahead, there’s no reason to think it won’t continue to positively impact industry and company-specific growth. AI can identify production errors faster than some supervisors can. It can also provide R&D teams the chance with innovation opportunities. AI has the potential to create more jobs and solve strategic challenges that may not have a direct answer right now. Needless to say, the reputation of AI right now in business and corporate circles is positive. It’s the hope of industry that applying AI to the job will help to increase wages and help boost employment.
