About six months ago, SEMRush posted a curation of stats on the immense impact of AI on business in 2021. The figures were impressive:
“In 2020, 39% of businesses planned to invest in AI technology.
By 2022, companies are expected to have an average of 35 AI projects in place.
The global AI market is predicted to reach $191 billion by 2025.”

And with our engagement ever more in trackable digital spaces, it’s little wonder that parsing data has become America’s second-favorite pastime (after meme hunting, of course).
