Four Hundred Monitor, November 13

It may be a cliché to say time flies, but most of us have done it. If you’ve never fallen victim to that phrase, the next five years may change your mind. It’s been predicted that by 2030, artificial intelligence will not only have the capability to create movies, music, books, and video games, it will become the new standard, and you will suddenly find yourself remembering the good old days of 2024. The IDC has already predicted that 67 percent of the projected $227 billion AI spending in 2025 will come from enterprises embedding AI capabilities into core business operations, surpassing investments in leading cloud and digital service providers. And we’re predicting that AI will continue to be the hottest topic in our Top Stories list, as evidenced again this week.
