The chart of the week

This chart projects the explosive growth expected in the Generative AI market over the coming decade:

• The adoption of Generative AI technologies is expected to skyrocket as we can see after 2027, with a nearly exponential curve in market growth (the market almost triples between 2030 and 2033).

• Crossing the $100 billion threshold by 2028, will mark the transition of Generative AI from a niche segment to a mainstream technological powerhouse.

Questions that come to mind:

• What are the potential societal implications of such rapid and widespread adoption of Generative AI?

• How will regulatory frameworks evolve to keep pace with the explosive growth of Generative AI?

• Which industries will be most disrupted or revolutionized by this growth?

My mini survAIval insight of the week

In front of this fast and unknown (“daunting”) change, people are starting to freak out (myself included depending on the day of the week), but I always remind myself about this:

The future could see AI acting as a collaborative partner, augmenting human abilities rather than replacing them.

Here are 2 points I am already doing myself to be prepared for it:

• Embrace Lifelong Learning. Generative AI opens up vast opportunities, but it also demands that we remain agile and willing to learn by focusing on continuous education and skill development—particularly in AI literacy, creative problem-solving, and digital fluency.

• Leverage AI. Harness AI to automate routine tasks and generate novel ideas, so we can focus on a more strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and high-value creative work.
