The Global Artificial Intelligence Indexes 2018–2019
An Overview of Different Indexes Measuring AI around the world
There are a few institutions and organisations who have started indexing different countries within the field of artificial intelligence. So I thought I could be, for a short while, the indexer of indexes. I thought I would start looking at the different indexes that measure artificial intelligence. My wish is that this is helpful to you and that you help me keep this list updated or amend any mistakes.
The 2018 AI Index report from Stanford University
This report is published by the AI Index Steering Committee, Human-Centered AI Initiative at Stanford University. It is: “…an effort to track, collate, distill, and visualize data relating to artificial intelligence. It aspires to be a comprehensive resource of data and analysis for policymakers, researchers, executives, journalists, and the general public to develop intuitions about the complex field of AI.”
The Global AI Index by Tortoise Media
A new index released the 3rd of December 2019 ranking 54 countries
Over 12 months, they measured 54 countries across seven key indicators: talent; infrastructure; operating environment; research; development; government strategy; and commercial ventures. Each indicator was weighted for importance after consultation with experts across the field.
They have an interactive display which lets you rank the different countries according to the different parameters.
Government Artificial Intelligence Readiness 2019
This report has a development perspective written by Oxford Insights and the International Development Research Centre. “Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are forecast to add US$15 trillion to the global economy by 2030. According to the findings of our Index and as might be expected, the governments of countries in the Global North are better placed to take advantage of these gains than those in the Global South. There is a risk, therefore, that countries in the Global South could be left behind by the so-called fourth industrial revolution. Not only will they not reap the potential benefits of AI, but there is also the danger that unequal implementation widens global inequalities.”
This is #500daysofAI and you are reading article 183. I write one new article about or related to artificial intelligence every day for 500 days.
