While some will now profess that the Fifth Industrial revolution is AI, AI is more exponential than the internet or the fake fourth industrial revolution. The dawn of the fourth industrial revolution begins with AI. This Cognitive Era will be with us for decades to come. Constellation Research has seen a projected CAGR of 19.8% in global AI IT spending from $151 billion to $490.6 billion by 2030.
