RKMA published 18 market research studies on AI in the 1980s and 1990s, participated in AAAI and IJCAI conferences, and consulted on business applications. Artificial Intelligence 2026, an annual ebook publication, resumes our assessment of the AI field.
Artificial Intelligence 2026 focuses on generative AI (GenAI) and AI agents, explaining how these systems work and how they are used. Over 50 leading AI tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Claude, Copilot, DALL-E, Gemini, Veo) are described. The workings of AI hardware (i.e., graphics processing units [GPUs], accelerator chips, and AI PCs) are analyzed. Over 100 use cases are presented for business management, consumer, defense, engineering, financial, healthcare, hospitality, manufacturing, marketing and advertising, retail, and smart city applications. Several surveys quantify business and consumer use of GenAI.
Artificial Intelligence 2026 provides insight into the $540 billion global AI business with profiles of leading academic programs, privately held AI companies, publically traded corporations, and AI startups.
Large U.S. tech firms spent $400 billion in 2025 on the infrastructure needed to run AI models; by year-end 2028, $3 trillion will have been spent worldwide on data centers. AI 2026 assesses these activities, including projects by Amazon AWS, Google, Meta, Microsoft, Oracle, and Stargate.
What will be the impact of AI on business, employment, and society? Artificial Intelligence 2026 provides findings of numerous studies and surveys that address
these issues. Over 200 links direct readers to sources for further information.
