United States Leads in Stanford HAI Global AI Ranking
A new ranking tool from the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered AI (HAI) AI Index puts the United States in the No. 1 spot for global AI leadership. The Global AI Vibrancy Tool measures the strength of countries’ AI ecosystems based on eight categories: research and development; responsible AI; economy; education; diversity; policy and governance; public opinion; and infrastructure. Each category is weighted by a panel of experts to determine an overall vibrancy score.
The tool gathers data based on 42 openly available AI-specific indicators, such as AI journal publications, total AI private investment, AI legislation passed, and foundation model datasets, HAI explained in a news announcement. The tool is “designed to empower policymakers, industry leaders, researchers, and the public with actionable, data-driven insights into national AI development.”
Top 10 countries in the AI Index’s Global AI vibrancy ranking
This year’s top 10 countries are:
- United States
- China
- United Kingdom
- India
- The United Arab Emirates
- France
- South Korea
- Germany
- Japan
- Singapore
“AI has increased as a topic of national interest, and correspondingly narratives about which countries lead in AI have become more prominent than ever,” said Nestor Maslej, project manager of the AI Index, in a statement. “However, there’s limited data providing a clear, quantitative view of where countries actually stand in AI. At the Index, we wanted to address this gap with a rigorous tool that could help policymakers, business leaders, and the public ground these geopolitical AI narratives in fact.”
The tool will be updated regularly, HAI said, to serve as a resource for tracking global AI development. It can be accessed on the AI Index site here.
