"Technological revolutions are always capital-hungry at the beginning and productivity-rich at the end."

On November 30, 2022, ChatGPT was officially launched to the public for the first time. Since then, ~1.8 billion people (~20% of the global population) have used various AI products, including ChatGPT, Canva, Gemini, DeepSeek, Perplexity AI, Grok, Claude, and more. 

Since the public launch of these AI tools, users have quickly gravitated towards a few leaders. With the top seven AI tools representing 85% of the market share.

Corporations have also embraced AI, and some have already achieved strong results across their organizaitons. As shown below, AI has helped diverse organizations save time, cut costs and deliver higher quality service. 

As highlighted above, AI applications can be broad. As AI continues to advance, more industries will emerge with niche AI and automation applications to streamline their operations. Time will tell which sectors will benefit most from this paradigm shift. 

As AI continues to become more widely used across various industries, the advances in productivity should result in global GDP growth. Over the next decade, AI could add 1.5 - 3.0% to annual productivity growth. 

All of this impressive innovation and mass adoption has been accompanied by colossal spending on AI. A significant portion of the capital expenditure ("CapEx") spending has been from the large technology companies that are building out compute capacity through data center build outs ("Hyperscalers"). These Hyperscalers include firms such as Microsoft, Google (Alphabet), Meta Platforms, and Amazon who are expected to spend a combined ~US$370 billion on CapEx in 2025.
