Generative AI
AI systems that can create new content — text, images, code, audio, video — rather than simply analyzing or classifying existing data. Large language models and diffusion models are the primary architectures.
The generative AI market grew from roughly $40 billion in 2022 to an estimated $184 billion in 2025, and Bloomberg Intelligence projects it will reach $1.3 trillion by 2032. Generative AI adoption surged from 33% to 72% of organizations in a single year. In the developer world, 65% of software developers now regularly use AI coding assistants. Generative AI is the dominant growth driver of the broader $244 billion AI market.
