Stanford’s AI researchers have been issuing annual reports since 2017 on developments in AI. This year’s edition considers 10 findings, as follows:
- AI beats humans on some tasks, but not on all.
- Industry continues to dominate frontier AI research.
- Frontier models get way more expensive.
- The United States leads China, the EU, and the U.K. as the leading source of top AI models.
- Robust and standardized evaluations for LLM responsibility are seriously lacking.
- Generative AI investment skyrockets.
- The data is in: AI makes workers more productive and leads to higher quality work.
- Scientific progress accelerates even further, thanks to AI.
- The number of AI regulations in the United States sharply increases.
- People across the globe are more cognizant of AI’s potential impact—and more nervous.
