The impact of AI on various economic sectors is not easy to predict, due to the speed with which technology is evolving and political and social reactions.
We propose a reasoned summary of the impact of AI in different economic and professional sectors, at present and as envisioned for the near future, without claiming to be exhaustive, describing relevant technologies, new capabilities offered by the technology, and some critical aspects.
The increase in productivity promised by artificial intelligence is not always proven.
At present, traditional, vertical artificial intelligence solutions, such as computer vision, machine translation, and robotics, seem to have a greater impact on productivity than generative artificial intelligence.
