Corporate AI investment more than doubled to $581.7B in 2025, and AI data centre power capacity reached 29.6 GW by the end of the year. The money is concentrated: US private AI investment was 23 times China's. Use is spreading quickly: 88% of McKinsey survey respondents said their organisation used AI in 2025, and generative AI reached 53% of US adults aged 18 to 64 within three years of ChatGPT's release.
