Signal US institutions produced 61 notable AI models in 2023 against the EU's 21 and China's 15
Summary
This signal compares where leading AI models and patents come from. In 2023, institutions based in the United States produced 61 notable AI models, far ahead of 21 from the European Union and 15 from China. Patent activity tells a different story, as global AI patents rose by 62.7% between 2021 and 2022, a 31-fold increase since 2010, and China originates 61.1% of them. The report treats these figures as evidence that the US keeps its lead in research and development while China dominates patenting. It also describes the two countries competing fiercely with vast investments, while Europe remains at a disadvantage despite its funding efforts.
