About as many top AI researchers are leaving the country as those entering, according to Zeki data.
According to a report by Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, the United States is losing its edge in artificial intelligence (AI) research and development to China, which has surpassed the U.S. in the number of AI journal publications and AI patents filed. The report highlights that while the U.S. still leads in the quality of AI research and the number of AI startups, China's rapid growth in AI investment and government support is closing the gap. The report also notes a significant increase in AI-related job postings in China, indicating a robust demand for AI talent. Additionally, the report raises concerns about the ethical implications of AI development, emphasizing the need for international cooperation to address these challenges.
