This got rightly made fun of a bit on twitter. How much did they say the metaverse and blockchain were going to create? Or previous things (deep learning) that we called AI.
I don't mean to say I think there are no applications. Just that McK's numbers are completely made up and their grasp of what emerging technologies may go places is nonexistent.
I understand their "thought leadership" is more futurism than a prediction with some real confidence attached, and it serves their purpose well. They're not dumb, they know exactly what this is and who the audience is and it's optimized for that, not random internet commenters. Still worth making fun of though.
