We recently compiled a list of the 10 AI News Updates Making Headlines Right Now. In this article, we are going to take a look at where GSI Technology, Inc. (NASDAQ:GSIT) stands against the other AI stocks that are making headlines.
Nowadays, barely a day goes by without a huge headline touching artificial intelligence (AI). Three main factors are driving the rising interest in AI. First, it is now easier to train new machine learning (ML) models because training data is easily available. The DeepSeek R1 breakthrough is evidence of this. Second, smaller companies can access computing power with relative ease. AI models use this power to organize and process information. Third, there are enough AI solutions to bridge the gap between AI and organizations. Although organizations still need to hire skilled professionals like Data Scientists, the overall cost to design AI solutions is significantly lower because of the existence of free open-source AI platforms.
However, if you look at it from another angle, the rising interest in AI arises from increased adoption. A recent McKinsey report found that 65% of organizations are now using generative AI. The high demand for AI models and related services is reflected in the AI market as ever-higher growth numbers. For instance, a Markets and Markets analysis valued the global AI market at $214.6 billion in 2024 and projects that it will reach $1.3 trillion in 2030.
What is happening in the AI market is only one side of the coin; the other side is what the AI revolution is doing to human life. Great things are happening. According to a PwC analysis, AI could contribute up to $15.7 trillion to the global economy in 2030. This will happen in the form of increased GDP for local economies resulting from increased productivity and consumption of AI-related products and services.
Interestingly, this impact doesn’t come from traditional AI companies—those at the forefront of training AI models—alone. Instead, the global economy will experience an income boost from AI through partnerships between core technology developers and other businesses. What this means is that AI is no longer just a chatbot. Rather, it has changed how companies create value.
“This is exactly what we are seeing in our work with clients as well. AI transforms companies’ ability to apply intelligence and information at speed and scale, enabling them to build new business models and tap different value pools. Pioneering companies in areas from AI-supported healthcare to AI-enabled mergers & acquisitions are using the technology to create breakthroughs in the value their people can deliver,” says Carol Stubbings, the Global Chief Commercial Officer at PwC.
As AI continues to reshape the global economy, certain companies are emerging as key players in this transformation. Let’s look at 10 AI companies that are making headlines and driving significant changes in their respective sectors.
