Russian Mary Meeker has released her annual trends report — this time focused on AI. And the numbers are staggering.
The fastest tech growth in human history
ChatGPT reached 800 million users in just 17 months. For comparison, it took the internet 23 years to hit the same milestone. This is the fastest technological adoption in human history.
Costs are dropping, capabilities are skyrocketing
The cost of processing an AI token is approaching zero, while the costs of training new models are growing exponentially.
AI is already smarter than humans
AI is working faster and smarter than humans. GPT-4.5 is already fooling Turing test judges — 73% mistook it for a human. Visual models are generating images indistinguishable from real photos.
How AI is transforming work and education
AI is reshaping education and the job market. In the U.S., AI-related job postings are up 448%, while traditional IT jobs are down 9%.
People spend more time in ChatGPT than Instagram
Users now spend more time in ChatGPT than on Instagram. Usage time has surged 202% over the past 21 months.
Tech giants are burning billions
Tech giants are investing billions. The Big Six (Apple, NVIDIA, Microsoft, Alphabet, Amazon, and Meta) have increased capital expenditures by 63% in one year — reaching $212 billion.
China is catching up fast
China is closing the gap. Usage of Chinese language models is surging, and the country is deploying industrial robots faster than the U.S.
AI is entering the real world
AI is going beyond screens: autonomous taxis, AI chefs at Yum! Brands, banking assistants, and even FDA-approved doctor bots in the U.S.
The next frontier: Artificial General Intelligence
The next target is Artificial General Intelligence. OpenAI now believes it knows how to build it. And this is no longer science fiction.
Bottom line: AI is the new internet
AI isn’t just a trend. It’s the new internet — only faster, cheaper, and much smarter. If you’re not already in the game, you’re falling behind. Но как и во всём- будьте осторожны!
