Introducing Gasman’s Guide to the Artificial Intelligence Industry: 2024

AI has been a research topic as long as computers have been in existence, but it is only in the past couple of years that AI has come to present real business opportunities.  It is now attracting the attention of both the largest multinationals and innovative startups as well as investors.  Meanwhile, the possible applications for AI are burgeoning and becoming all-encompassing.

The Gasman’s Guide to the Artificial Intelligence Industry is the first report to focus on the business potential of AI, where the money will be made and where it will be lost. This report begins with a discussion of all the major applications (emerging and current) and for each application discusses who are the main companies active in the field.  Also included are market forecasts for each application and type of technology.
