Artificial Intelligence (AI) isn’t just a buzzword anymore — it’s powering the tools, apps, and systems we use every single day. From ChatGPT to self-driving cars, from healthcare breakthroughs to gaming PCs running AI-boosted graphics, AI is reshaping how the world works, plays, and learns.

At Kelsus-IT, we’ve been following the rapid evolution of AI closely — not only because it’s revolutionising tech, but because it’s redefining how people use computers, monitors, and software in their daily lives.

So how big has AI become in 2025? Here’s a snapshot of what’s happening right now in the world of artificial intelligence — and what it means for businesses, gamers, and everyday users.

? The Global AI Market: Bigger Than Ever

The global AI market is valued at around $391 billion in 2025.
It’s projected to grow nearly ninefold by 2033, reaching $3.5 trillion.
The industry is expanding at a 31.5% CAGR (compound annual growth rate) — faster than almost any other sector in tech.

Much of this growth is being fuelled by generative AI — tools that create text, art, code, and even video. That sector alone is worth an estimated $63 billion, already outpacing the US gaming industry in value.

? ChatGPT and the Explosion of AI Tools

When ChatGPT launched in late 2022, it reached 1 million users in just five days. By 2023, it had surpassed 100 million monthly users.
Fast-forward to 2025, and ChatGPT.com now sees over 5.4 billion visits a month, making it the 5th most visited website globally.

AI search traffic is now 4.4x more valuable than traditional Google search traffic — and analysts predict that AI-driven search could overtake organic search by 2028.

? AI in the Workforce

1.8% of all new job listings are now AI-specific roles.
90% of tech workers already use AI tools at work — up from just 14% in 2024.
Globally, AI could replace 92 million jobs by 2030 — but also create 170 million new ones, meaning a net gain of over 78 million roles.

At Kelsus-IT, we’ve seen this firsthand — businesses are investing in powerful laptops, GPUs, and monitors that can handle AI applications, machine learning workloads, and content generation tools.

? AI in Everyday Life

AI isn’t limited to labs or tech companies anymore — it’s everywhere:

Smart homes: Over 70% of households now use AI-powered devices like smart speakers or thermostats.
Healthcare: 66% of physicians use AI tools to help diagnose or treat patients.
Wearables: The wearable AI market (think Apple Watch, Fitbit, and smart glasses) is forecast to hit $303 billion by 2035.
Entertainment: Netflix’s AI recommendation engine alone saves the company over $1 billion a year by reducing churn.

AI is also being used in drug discovery — one AI-developed drug has already destroyed antibiotic-resistant MRSA in lab tests.

? AI Beyond the Screen: Autonomous and Industrial AI

AI isn’t just changing software — it’s reshaping industries:

Self-driving cars could generate $400 billion in revenue by 2035.
Manufacturing is predicted to gain $3.78 trillion in value from AI by the same year.
Retail, healthcare, and finance are rapidly adopting AI agents and predictive analytics to improve efficiency.

Even UK retailers are embracing AI — 90% are exploring AI integration, with over a third already deploying AI-powered customer service agents.

? The Investment Boom

In 2024, private investment in AI jumped over 40%, reaching $130 billion globally.
By 2025, AI startups account for more than half of all venture capital funding — an unprecedented share that shows how investors see AI as the next technological revolution.

? Challenges and Concerns

Of course, the rapid rise of AI comes with challenges:

Job displacement fears: Around a quarter of Gen Z workers are “very concerned” about losing jobs to AI.
Environmental impact: AI infrastructure now consumes more electricity and water than ever — with data centres projected to use six times more water than Denmark by the end of the decade.
Trust and ethics: Only 8.5% of users say they fully trust AI search results or “AI overviews” online.

Still, AI is improving efficiency, reducing waste, and creating opportunities in nearly every sector.
