Gartner: Global AI spending will reach $25 trillion by 2026.

Gartner predicts that global total AI spending will reach 2.52 trillion US dollars in 2026, a year-on-year increase of 44%. Gartner's distinguished research vice president, John-David Lovelock, said, "The adoption of AI fundamentally depends on the readiness of human capital and organizational processes, not just financial investment. Organizations with higher levels of maturity and self-awareness are increasingly focusing on proven actual results rather than potential possibilities."
