Introducing the AI Index 2019 Report   By Stanford University

An independent initiative within Stanford University's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute, the report is in its third year.

The AI Index 2019 Report takes an interdisciplinary approach by design, analyzing and distilling patterns about artificial intelligences broad global impact on everything from national economies to job growth, research, and public perception.

We're excited to release the AI Index 2019 Report, one of the most comprehensive studies about AI to date. Because AI touches so many aspects of society, the Index takes an interdisciplinary approach by design, analyzing and distilling patterns about AI's broad global impact on everything from national economies to job growth, research and public perception. The purpose of the project is to ground the discussion on AI in data, serving practitioners, industry leaders, policymakers and funders, the general public and the media that informs it. 

An independent initiative within Stanford University's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute, the report is in its third year and is the result of a collaborative effort led by the AI Index Steering Committee, an interdisciplinary group of experts from across academia and industry, in collaboration with more than 35 sponsoring partners and data contributors.

The first two reports established the Index as the preeminent source of data about AI. The 2019 edition reinforces the position but dramatically expands the coverage, tracking three times as many data sets as the 2018 edition. It includes an update of previous measures, as well as numerous new ones, across all aspects of AI including technical performance, the economy, societal issues, and more.
