The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) AI Index today released the Global AI Vibrancy Tool that enables comparisons of 36 countries based on 42 openly available AI-specific indicators. Cross-country comparisons can be made using either the absolute or per capita versions of the indicators and are supported by interactive visualizations.
This press release includes multimedia. See the full statement here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241121008614/pt/
The Global AI Vibrancy Tool measures the strength of AI ecosystems based on 8 pillars – research and development, responsible AI, economy, education, diversity, politics and governance, public opinion and infrastructure – with indicators including AI journal publications, total private investment in AI, passed AI legislation, and foundation model datasets.
It is designed to empower policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and the public with actionable, data-driven insights into national AI development that enable the public to explore findings in a way that is most relevant to their goals. Policymakers can use the tool to strategically guide policy decisions, companies can gain insights into global AI market trends, and the general public can access hard data to better understand the evolving debates around AI.
The Global AI Vibrancy Tool is available now at https://aiindex.stanford.edu/vibrancy/. Stanford HAI’s AI Index hopes to encourage stakeholders around the world to enhance their data collection and sharing efforts to improve visibility into the global AI ecosystem. Regular updates will ensure the tool remains a valuable resource for tracking global AI developments.
Using a set of weights determined by a panel of experts, this year’s top ten countries are as follows:
United States: The US leads the ranking by a significant margin and stands out in the pillars of research and development (R&D) and the AI economy. The US consistently produces the most notable AI machine learning models, attracts the highest levels of private investment in AI, and leads in publishing responsible AI research.
China: China demonstrates substantial strengths in the R&D, economic and infrastructure pillars. China’s focus on developing next-generation AI technologies and increasing its R&D investments has positioned it as a major AI powerhouse.
United Kingdom: The United Kingdom demonstrates particular strength in the pillars of R&D, education and policy and governance.
India: India has a strong performance in R&D and recent improvements in the economy pillar.
UAE: UAE scores high in the economy pillar.
France: France ranks sixth and demonstrates strength in the pillars of policy and governance, education and infrastructure.
South Korea: South Korea ranks seventh, with high scores in the pillars of politics and governance, infrastructure and public opinion.
Germany: Germany ranks eighth, demonstrating strength in the pillars of R&D, responsible AI and education.
Japan: Japan demonstrates strong performance in the infrastructure, R&D and economic pillars.
Singapore: Singapore demonstrates strength in the pillars of economy, diversity and responsible AI.
“AI has become a topic of great national relevance and, consequently, narratives about countries that lead in artificial intelligence have become increasingly relevant,” said Nestor Maslej, project manager at AI Index. “However, there is little data that allows a clear and quantitative view of where countries are actually investing in AI. At the Index, we wanted to address this gap with an insightful tool that could help policymakers, business leaders, and the public ground these AI geopolitical narratives in fact.”
