The field of artificial intelligence (AI) isn't just some fad Wall Street is currently obsessed with but will fade into utter insignificance soon. While some of the hype will die down eventually, the technology has the potential to make corporations more efficient and increase profits over the long run.

Another reason the AI bubble can burst in 2025 is due to the expected resolution of GPU scarcity that's sent Nvidia's stock into the stratosphere.

Market researcher IDC forecasts that global AI-related spending could hit $337 billion next year and jump to a whopping $749 billion by 2028. As a result, technology companies selling AI-related hardware and software should ideally witness healthy growth in their businesses next year.

The artificial intelligence market had a banner year in 2024, growing to $184 billion from $136 billion in 2023. The industry is forecast to continue expanding, reaching $827 billion by 2030. Two businesses positioned to capitalize on the growth of artificial intelligence (AI) are the telecom Verizon Communications (NYSE: VZ) and newcomer BigBear.
