Reasoning

As of 2023, the AI content generation market has been experiencing rapid growth, with a valuation of approximately $11 billion in 2022 and projected annual growth rates of over 20% attributed to advancements in AI technology and increased adoption across various sectors. Given the current economic conditions, including robust investment in AI and digital transformation initiatives, coupled with large tech companies focusing on AI tools, it's reasonable to predict that the market could surpass $20 billion by 2028.

Key uncertainty

Regulatory changes concerning the use of AI-generated content, particularly around copyright and ethical usage, could significantly impact market dynamics and growth rates.
