AI Index
The mission of the AI Index is to track, collate, distill, and visualize data relating to artificial intelligence. We 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.
Review the 2024 AI Index Report
The AI Index Report tracks, collates, distills, and visualizes data related to artificial intelligence.
Recognized Globally
The AI Index is recognized globally as one of the most credible and authoritative sources for data and insights on artificial intelligence.
Previous editions have been cited in major newspapers, including the The New York Times, Bloomberg, and The Guardian, have amassed hundreds of academic citations, and been referenced by high-level policymakers in the United States, the United Kingdom, and the European Union, among other places. This year’s edition surpasses all previous ones in size, scale, and scope, reflecting the growing significance that AI is coming to hold in all of our lives.

Evaluating AI Progress and Impact
We write about the progress and impact of artificial intelligence through a cross-sector lens, from research and development to technical performance, the economy, education, policy, and more.
Measurement in AI Policy: Opportunities and Challenges
As artificial intelligence increasingly influences our world, it becomes crucial to assess its technical progress and societal impact. This paper surveys problems and opportunities in the measurement of AI systems and their impact, based on a workshop held at Stanford University in the fall of 2019. We identify six summary challenges inherent to measuring the progress and impact of AI, and summarize over 40 presentations and associated discussions from the workshop. We hope this can inspire research agendas in this crucial area.
