Аннотация

Corporate investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a critical driver of economic growth and technological innovation. This article examines the role of key macroeconomic indicators—Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Information and Communications Technology (ICT) exports, and patents—in influencing corporate investments in AI. Through a comprehensive literature review and analysis of data from leading AI-adopting countries, the study reveals a strong correlation between GDP growth, robust ICT exports, and high levels of patent activity with increased corporate AI investment. The findings highlight that countries with higher GDPs, advanced ICT infrastructure, and significant patent output in AI-related fields create an environment conducive to innovation and AI adoption. As AI technologies continue to evolve, understanding the relationship between these economic indicators and corporate AI investment is essential for fostering sustainable growth and maintaining a competitive edge in the global market.
