Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI): “The mission of the AI Index is to provide unbiased, rigorously vetted, and globally sourced data for policymakers, researchers, journalists, executives, and the general public to develop a deeper understanding of the complex field of AI. To achieve this, we track, collate, distill, and visualize data relating to artificial intelligence.” The 2025 AI Index Report is coming soon on April 7. Here are the key takeaways from the 2024 AI Index Report:

01 AI beats humans on some tasks, but not on all.

02 Industry continues to dominate frontier AI research.

03 Frontier models get way more expensive.

04 The United States leads China, the EU, and the U.K. as the leading source of top AI models.

05 Robust and standardized evaluations for LLM responsibility are seriously lacking.

06 Generative AI investment skyrockets.

07 The data is in: AI makes workers more productive and leads to higher quality work.

08 Scientific progress accelerates even further, thanks to AI.

09 The number of AI regulations in the United States sharply increases.

10 People across the globe are more cognizant of AI’s potential impact—and more nervous.
