The euphoria about generative artificial intelligence (AI) was initially great – but now comes the disillusion. Because insiders come to the conclusion: they have not brought the hoped for work easier or savings.
According to a Gartner study published on Monday, the growth of investments in AI services remains relatively stable, while the total expenditure slowly slowed down. So the AI could not “meet the high expectations”, known Gartner-Analyt John-David Lovelock from the Reuters news agency. “The companies therefore increasingly rely on standard software, the integration of which can be better predictable and economic benefits.”
In 2025, experts expect an increase of almost 163 percent in 2025 after an increase of 177 percent in the previous year. The total growth of investments in generative AI, which, just like Chatgpt of OpenAi or Gemini, can make content based on fewer keywords based on a good 76 percent to $ 643.86 billion only about one fifth of the value of the previous year this year.
Is becoming more and more “normal” software
“Generative AI is increasingly becoming a ‘normal’ software,” Lovelock emphasized. “In 2026 we will reach the point where more money is spent on programs instead of without generative AI.” Providers should therefore convince potential customers of the benefits of their product to sell it. So far they have more or less been torn out of their hands.
At the same time, AI developers such as OpenAAI were still billions in improving their programs, Gartner expert Lovelock predicts. Thanks to the growing spread of this technology, 2025 waved strong turnover increases. “But that is not your greatest concern.” They concentrated on conquering the greatest possible market share that they could silver at a later date.
