Still, other studies caution that using AI without proper oversight can lead to diminished performance.”
US, china Lead The Race
The report highlights the leading positions of the US, china, the EU, and the UK in the advancement of top AI models. In 2023, US-based companies produced 61 notable AI models, followed by 21 from the EU and 15 from China. Between 2021 and 2022, there was a significant 62.7 percent increase in AI patent grants globally.Notably, since 2010, there has been a remarkable 31-fold increase in granted AI patents. china appears to dominate in AI patents, leading with 61.1 percent of global AI patent origins, surpassing the US at 20.9 percent. Over time, the US share in AI patents has declined from 54.1 percent since 2010.
The report added that AI-related regulations in the US are also on the rise if we look at the past five years. In 2016, there was just one AI-related regulation but, in 2023 the number rose to 25. In 2023, the total number of AI-related regulations grew by 56.3 percent.
