On April 17th, it was reported that Stanford University's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence, co-led by Chinese-American scientist and "AI matriarch" Fei-Fei Li, released the "2024 Artificial Intelligence Index Report".
This 501-page report, touted as the most comprehensive one yet by the institute, tracks the development trends of global artificial intelligence in 2023.
The report reveals a significant 62.7% increase in global artificial intelligence patent grants from 2021 to 2022. Since 2010, the number of granted AI patents has grown by over 31 times.
China holds a commanding lead in the number of artificial intelligence patents.
In 2022, China led the world in AI patent filings with a share of 61.1%, significantly surpassing the United States at 20.9%. Since 2010, the U.S. share of AI patents has steadily declined from 54.1%.
However, when it comes to top-tier artificial intelligence models, the United States still leads over countries such as China, the European Union, and the United Kingdom. In 2023, 61 prominent AI models originated from institutions in the United States, far outnumbering the 21 from the EU and 15 from China.
