Top AI Industry Statistics

Most teams are already using AI, yet only 58% have AI in production and 39% have dedicated AI governance, so the gap between adoption and responsible execution is stark. You will also see what 2025 scale looks like for the market and performance, including $66.8 billion for global AI software in 2024, $407.0 billion forecast for 2028, and how quantization cuts inference latency by 30% in production deployments.
