The aim of this paper is to develop a comprehensive approach to analyzing the global artificial intelligence (AI) market. We present a classification and analysis of the dynamics of key AI technologies, including generative and agent-based AI, computer vision, NLP, and neuromorphic computing. We examine the structure of AI producers and consumers globally and in Russia, identifying patterns in the spatial and sectoral distribution of the market. An analysis of the evolution of the technological structure revealed a characteristic process of pipeline substitution: classical machine learning and computer vision are being replaced by generative AI. A study of the structure of AI producers revealed a transition from the undisputed leadership of the United States to the formation of a multipolar configuration, with China gaining ground and significant players emerging in other countries, including Russia. Consumer analysis revealed significant differences between the global demand structure, dominated by the technology and finance sectors, and the Russian model, dominated by the public sector.

Keywords: integrated approach, artificial intelligence market, technological structure, generative AI, AI producers and consumers, spatial-temporal analysis, multipolar market configuration.
