Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries and opening new economic opportunities. A recent report by McKinsey estimates that AI could contribute up to $4.4 trillion annually to the global economy by 2030. This shift is driving organizations to optimize processes, automate complex tasks, and develop personalized services. For instance, AI-powered diagnostic tools in healthcare are revolutionizing the diagnosis and treatment of diseases, already resulting in comparable or higher accuracy than human doctors. According to Gartner, by 2025, 50% of healthcare providers will invest in AI technologies to improve patient care.
Key drivers of this transformation include companies like QUALCOMM, which recently made headlines as a potential buyer of Intel’s chip design business. This acquisition would strengthen QUALCOMM’s AI product line and could lead to a strategic repositioning in the market. Despite a forecast of only 5% revenue growth in the first quarter of 2025, the company demonstrates serious ambitions to expand its position in the AI market.
The financial services sector is also experiencing significant changes due to AI. A 2023 PwC report predicts that AI could boost global GDP by up to 14% by 2030, with banks and fintech firms benefiting from improved fraud detection and automated customer services. Concurrently, the International Federation of Robotics has estimated that global revenue from industrial robots will rise to $31 billion by 2025, driven by AI-powered production automation. Tesla uses AI to optimize production processes in its Gigafactories, enhancing both sustainability and efficiency.
In retail, AI-powered recommendation systems, like those of Amazon and Alibaba, are providing personalized shopping experiences and better demand cycle forecasts. A Forbes report indicates that AI could reduce errors in supply chain forecasting by 50%. Simultaneously, the World Economic Forum predicts that AI will replace 85 million jobs by 2025, but also create 97 million new ones, particularly in areas like AI development and data science.
Overall, QUALCOMM ranks 14th among AI stocks that have been particularly prominent this month. However, despite QUALCOMM’s potential, some analysts see better investment opportunities in other AI stocks that might offer higher returns. Modern Financial Markets Data
