The Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI's Global Vibrancy Tool 2024 positions the U. S. as the top leader in artificial intelligence, with China and the UK trailing. Analyzing data from 36 countries on indicators like research papers and private investment, the tool highlights the U. S. ’s dominance in machine learning models and AI research. While China is second, it falls short in key areas such as private investment and machine learning models, despite leading in AI patents. Developed by the AI Index research team, the tool aggregates 42 AI-specific indicators, offering a quantitative assessment of national AI ecosystems over time. It aims to clarify global AI standings amid increasing geopolitical narratives. The U. S. excels in AI ecosystem robustness, research output, economic activities, and infrastructure, leading in AI investment, job postings, and startups. Despite past competition, the U. S.
now significantly outpaces China in private investment ($67. 2 billion vs. $7. 8 billion) and machine learning models (61 vs. 15). Globally, AI is a growing political priority, with nations like the UAE investing in AI leadership. In 2024, the UK ranks third, hosting the world’s first AI safety summit in 2023, while South Korea and France also engage in hosting upcoming summits. The Global Vibrancy Tool, updated in 2023 for enhanced usability and data, allows for customization in ranking criteria. Vanessa Parli from Stanford HAI urges improved data tracking for AI, aiming for the tool to facilitate global collaborations. Future versions will expand the dataset, incorporating more countries as their AI ecosystems develop.
