Summary
Report Scope
This report analyzes how AI disrupts industries and societies across technological, operational, customer-facing and competitive dimensions. It extends beyond tracking AI adoption trends and focuses on understanding disruption as a systemic force, mapping its worldwide impact on value creation and socio-economy. The study draws on global benchmarks, real-time applications and deep research from academic, corporate and policy institutions to define the evolving AI landscape. The report examines several vectors, including platform shifts involving AI-native architectures, generative AI, automation systems, robotics and data infrastructure. It examines the reengineering of internal workflows, supply chains, logistics and decision-making through intelligent automation and ML-based optimization. It also examines AI in user experience, personalization engines, predictive services, voice interfaces and AI agents. The report focuses on the most AI-affected sectors globally, with trend analysis in domains such as healthcare, finance and banking, manufacturing and supply chain, retail and e-commerce, education and edtech, transportation and logistics, media and entertainment, and other emerging sectors. The study also presents a regional landscape to identify AI leaders and late adopters. It maps the regional maturity, talent ecosystems and policy environment in North America, Asia-Pacific, Europe and the Rest of the World (RoW). The report evaluates AI disruption through multiple interconnected dimensions that include: - Shifts in market capitalization linked to AI integration along with Job creation and displacement across cognitive and manual sectors.
- Breakthroughs in foundational models driving sectoral disruption.
- Changes in M&A activity and ecosystem consolidation around data-rich companies.
