Artificial intelligence is reshaping the world, one industry at a time. Some sectors are ahead of the curve when it comes to adopting AI, while others are hardly scratching the surface.
A recent study by Yijin Hardware dove deep into AI adoption across global industries, ranking them based on investment levels, the number of AI-focused startups, public interest reflected in Google search trends, and the most impactful applications of AI technologies. The results are in:
Healthcare claims the spotlight with an AI engagement score of 100, thanks to its substantial $4.2 billion investment and over 11,000 active AI startups pioneering life-saving advancements like AI diagnostics and drug development. It’s no wonder the intersection of these two industries has become huge. Finance follows closely with a score of 72.4, showing how AI is revolutionizing fraud detection and trading automation. Meanwhile, marketing & advertising lands in third place with a score of 60.9, championing AI-powered personalization and analytics that are changing the game.
THESE 5 INDUSTRIES ARE TRAILING BEHIND
On the other side of the coin, the construction industry finds itself at the back of the AI engagement train with a score of just 1. It seems as though limited startups and funding keep this industry firmly rooted in the traditional. Insurance (5.2) and real estate (5.4) don’t fare much higher, despite public interest in AI technologies.
Manufacturing and agriculture are slightly higher, scoring under 12, though there’s been a buzz as these industries have begun exploring exciting applications like machine quality checks and crop monitoring.
