US Dominates AI Ecosystem: Investments, Models, and Research Lead Global Rankings

According to a new study by Stanford University, the US is the global leader of AI currently, with China being far behind. This seems right too because when we hear AI, the first word that comes to our mind is ChatGPT, which was launched in the US by OpenAI in 2022. ChatGPT pretty much started the globalization of AI and made it a significant tech in other nations. According to Global Vibrancy Tool 2024, the USA is the country which has released the most AI models, it has invested the most in AI and is working the most to do as much research on AI as possible.

Other countries like South Korea, UAE, UK, India and France also have a long way to go to compete with the US in terms of AI ecosystems.
According to Stanford’s AI Index research team most of the countries haven't provided clear data about where they stand in AI, so it's hard to pinpoint their exact stats. Global Vibrancy Tool ranked countries according to their research, economic activity and infrastructure related to AI. It found that even though China is leading in AI patents, the US is still the top choice for AI related investments. The US saw an increase of 22.1% in private investments for AI while the investments in other countries have declined since 2022. China tops the US with investments in only facial recognition, and the US is trying to dominate it too. The US also produced more machine learning tools than China. On the other hand, the UK and EU have seen an increase in new AI companies while China is seeing some decline.
