New Delhi: Worldwide spending on artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to be nearly $1.5 trillion in 2025, up nearly 50 per cent up from $987,904 in 2024, a report said on Monday. Further, the overall global AI spending is likely to top $2 trillion in 2026, led by AI integration into products such as smartphones and PCs, as well as infrastructure, according to a business and technology insights company Gartner, Inc report. Mirroring last year’s spending graph, generative AI integration in smartphones would lead the spending at $298,189 this year as well, followed by AI services ($282,556), AI-optimised servers ($267,534), AI processing semiconductor ($209,192), AI application software ($172,029) and AI infrastructure Software ($126,177). “The forecast assumes continued investment in AI infrastructure expansion, as major hyperscalers continue to increase investments in data centres with AI-optimised hardware and GPUs to scale their services,” said John-David Lovelock, Distinguished VP Analyst at Gartner. Add Zee News as a Preferred Source “The AI investment landscape is also expanding beyond traditional U.S. tech giants, including Chinese companies and new AI cloud providers. Furthermore, venture capital investment in AI providers is providing additional tailwinds for AI spending,” he added. According to the report, the AI spending would reach $2.02 trillion in 2026 following a similar growth trajectory. In 2026, spending on Generative AI integration in smartphones is likely to be at $393,297. Meanwhile, the spending on AI Services would reach $324,669, and for AI-optimised servers, it would go around $329,528 Similarly, AI processing semiconductor ($267,934), AI application software ($269,703) and AI infrastructure software ($229,885) will also put weight in spending on AI. The other segments, attracting AI spending, would be AI PCs by ARM and x86, AI-optimised IaaS, and GenAI Models. Gartner providers equip tech leaders and their teams with role-based best practices, industry insights and strategic views into emerging trends and market changes to achieve their mission-critical priorities and build the successful organisations of tomorrow.

GST Rates On Mobile Phones In India: In a major fiscal move, the Indian government has introduced a significant overhaul of the Goods and Services Tax (GST) system, effective from 22 September 2025. This new GST framework will affect the base prices of almost all products across the country. Earlier, the rates on many electronic products and gadgets were relatively high, but with the rollout of GST 2.0, these rates have been revised into new segments that are now live today.  Consumers are curious whether the new GST structure will make smartphones more affordable in India. While GST rate cuts have lowered prices for several electronics, leaving buyers wondering if the festive-season deals will actually help them save on their next smartphone purchase. GST 2.0: Will Smartphones And Laptops Get Cheaper? Add Zee News as a Preferred Source The short answer is no—smartphones are not getting cheaper, at least not because of the GST changes. Many electronics, like ACs, smart TVs, washing machines, and refrigerators, are now cheaper as they have moved from the 28% tax slab to 18%, directly benefiting buyers. Smartphones, however, were already in the 18% tax category and have not been lowered to 5%, so their prices remain unaffected by the new GST rates. Similarly, laptop prices also remain unchanged. This has sparked debate, with many questioning why smartphones, which play a crucial role in daily life, were not considered essential and given lower tax benefits.
