The AI Index 2021 Annual Report
This report provides unbiased and vetted data for policymakers, researchers, executives, journalists, and the public to understand AI trends, but it is incremental as it builds on previous editions.
The AI Index 2021 Annual Report tackles the challenge of providing comprehensive and reliable data on artificial intelligence by expanding data collection and collaborating with external organizations, resulting in an enhanced fourth edition with more extensive and calibrated information.
Welcome to the fourth edition of the AI Index Report. This year we significantly expanded the amount of data available in the report, worked with a broader set of external organizations to calibrate our data, and deepened our connections with the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI). The AI Index Report tracks, collates, distills, and visualizes data related to artificial intelligence. Its mission is to provide unbiased, rigorously vetted, and globally sourced data for policymakers, researchers, executives, journalists, and the general public to develop intuitions about the complex field of AI. The report aims to be the most credible and authoritative source for data and insights about AI in the world.
