Worldwide
Artificial Intelligence Market to Cross $21 Billion By 2007
According to a report (RG-275
Artificial Intelligence) released by Business Communications
Company, Inc., (www.bccresearch.com)
they expect the total worldwide AI market to grow at an AAGR
(Average Annual Growth Rate) of 12.2% and reach $21.2 billion
by 2007. The 2002 estimate was $11.9 billion.
Artificial Intelligence
(AI) has undergone a series of direction changes in its relatively
young history. The focus of the AI market is on how specific
technologies can enhance existing applications. These applications
are analyzed and discussed in relation to specific sectors of
industry and commerce, including financial, manufacturing automation,
transportation guidance systems, defense and domestic security,
medical/biotech, entertainment and education.
The five AI technologies
discussed within this report include neural networks, belief
networks, agents, decision support systems and expert systems.
The focus of this report is on how these technologies can enhance
existing applications. AI technologies assist existing applications
handle more complex data analysis, addressing the potential
variability in a situation. Data input, whether gathered from
data mining to deep space exploration, can be analyzed via AI-enhanced
applications. Expert systems, which present an application with
the power to consider this variability in data analysis via
a set of rules, will see strong growth and implementation across
sectors. Their estimate is that this technology will reach $4.8
billion in sales and an AAGR of 14.5% through 2007. Belief networks
($2.2 billion sales, 13.1% AAGR through 2007) and neural networks
($4.5 billion sales, 12.6% AAGR through 2007) will compliment
expert systems in the fastest-growing AI technologies as they
too will compliment existing applications in this advanced data
variability analysis.

AI-enhanced applications,
led by business intelligence (BI) and customer relationship
management (CRM) implementations, will be the strongest in growth.
These applications utilize all the specific technologies listed
above (in addition to others) to try to make better sense of
potentially enormous variability (e.g. unknown patterns/relationships
in sales data, customer buying habits, etc.). Additionally,
other AI-enhanced applications such as biometric applications
will see gains through 2007 as their applicability moves into
a variety of industries, and not just one central market. To
