Korea ranked seventh within the ‘Global Artificial Intelligence (AI) Country Rankings’ announced by Stanford University. That is due to the federal government’s AI policy being on the world’s highest level.
The Stanford Human-Centered AI Institute (HAI) announced on the twenty first (local time) that it may well compare 36 countries based on 42 publicly available AI-specific indicators. ‘Global AI Vibrancy Tool’and announced rankings by country.
The Global AI Vitality Tool measures the strength of the AI ecosystem based on eight pillars: research and development, responsible AI, economy, education, diversity, policy and governance, public opinion, and infrastructure. This includes publishing AI papers, private investment in AI, passed AI laws, and the inspiration model.
In consequence of compiling the scores for every country, america ranked overwhelmingly first with 70 points. There may be a whopping 30 points difference from second place China.
Starting in third place, there was a spot of greater than 10 points with China. The UK ranked 4th with 27 points, India ranked fifth with 25 points, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and France ranked fifth and sixth with 23 points. Korea ranked seventh with over 20 points.
Germany, Japan, and Singapore followed with 10 points.
HAI introduced, “Korea ranked seventh with high scores within the policy and governance, infrastructure, and public opinion categories.”
Particularly, the ‘National AI Strategy’ section ranked 1st globally with a rating out of 100, and the ‘National AI Act Passage’ section ranked 2nd with 60 points. Briefly, it has develop into a rustic with representative AI policies and regulations.
However, most R&D-related fields were rated below 10 points, including 9.92 points for the variety of AI papers, 3.78 points for AI conference papers, 10.72 points for AI paper citations, 1.03 points for AI conference paper citations, and 4.59 points for foundation models.
In fact, this can be a rating that ranks in the highest 10 amongst all countries. There are also 5 foundation models this time, rating 4th on this planet. Nevertheless, R&D lagged behind the UK, India, Germany, and Japan.
Apart from AI regulations, the one areas that exceeded 50 points were ‘AI-related social media conversation evaluation (70.45 points)’ and ‘Web speed (77.16 points)’.
Meanwhile, HAI became a hot topic last April by announcing the ‘AI Index’, which summarizes global AI trends in 2023.
On the time, they announced 109 ‘notable models’, saying that 149 foundation models were released worldwide last 12 months, however it caused a stir because not one of the domestic models were included. Ultimately, it was determined that this was because of the failure to properly publish related papers while launching the model in Korea.
The AI Index team explained that the tool, which was first released in 2017, has been relaunched with more data added and a user-friendly and versatile interface. It also shows how the robustness of national AI ecosystems has evolved over time and highlights where individual countries excel and lag behind in AI, he added.
“AI has emerged as a national concern for countries all over the world, making the narrative of which countries are leading the best way in AI more salient than ever before,” said Nestor Masley, AI Index Project Manager.
