The throughline of recent AI progress has been scale: larger systems trained on more data with more computation. Understanding that loop helps explain where the market is heading. Read more

Many researchers believe there is a real chance that human-level AI arrives within the coming decades, and some expect it sooner. Expectations themselves shape today’s investment. Read more

A large share of professional software developers now report using AI tools in their work, changing how products and campaigns get built and shipped. Read more

On a range of benchmarks — from language to image recognition — AI systems have closed the gap with and, in some tests, surpassed human performance. Read more

As data centres expand, their share of electricity demand is rising. Energy availability is becoming a genuine constraint on how fast AI capacity can scale. Read more

Newly funded AI companies and the capital raised by privately held AI firms point to a wave of company formation — the early-stage engine behind the next generation of tools. Read more

Scholarly publications on AI have grown rapidly, an indicator of the sheer volume of talent and attention now flowing into the field worldwide. Read more

Annual AI-related patent activity has expanded across industries, reflecting how broadly organisations are trying to protect and commercialise machine-learning ideas. Read more

The share of job postings mentioning AI skills has grown, signalling that employers increasingly expect fluency with these tools across marketing, engineering and analytics roles. Read more

The share of working-age adults and companies using generative AI has risen quickly. Adoption is uneven across countries and roles, but the overall direction is steeply upward. Read more

Chipmakers selling the hardware that powers AI have seen revenue climb sharply, a reminder that some of the clearest beneficiaries of the boom are the suppliers, not just the model builders. Read more

Monthly spending on data-centre construction has surged as companies race to add capacity for AI workloads — a build-out with real consequences for cost, power and timelines. Read more

Production of the advanced logic chips behind modern AI is concentrated in a handful of countries and firms, making the hardware supply chain a strategic pressure point for the whole industry. Read more

The computation used to train leading AI systems has risen exponentially, roughly doubling on a short cadence. More compute has consistently translated into more capable models. Read more

Private investment in AI has climbed steeply over the last decade, with annual funding now far above where it sat just a few years ago. That capital is reshaping the tools marketers use to plan, build and buy media. Read more
