Summary of the 2023 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Index Report Published by Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI)

📣 Fresh off the press: The State of 2023 in A.I. is getting tumultuous. Part I.

Hey Everyone,

Throughout the year there are important summaries of the State of A.I. I follow. Abhi Gupta made a concise summary of it in a LinkedIn post. So the 2023 Artificial Intelligence (AI) Index Report Published by Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) was just released on April 3rd, 2023.

This being said there are few A.I. Newsletters on Subsack I respect more than the AI Ethics Brief (who write rather long reports).

Also you can subscribe to the Responsible A.I. Bulletin on LinkedIn. In this post I’ll go into greater detail on the 2023 AI Index Report by the HAI. To know more about the AI ethics folk in Montreal, please visit: https://montrealethics.ai/about

🧠 Industry races ahead of academia.

📔 Performance saturation on traditional benchmarks.

🌎 AI is both helping and harming the environment.

👩‍🔬The world’s best new scientist … AI?

😈 The number of incidents concerning the misuse of AI is rapidly rising.

📶The demand for AI-related professional skills is increasing across virtually every American industrial sector.

💰For the first time in the last decade, year-over-year private investment in AI decreased.

🚣While the proportion of companies adopting AI has plateaued, the companies that have adopted AI continue to pull ahead.

📄Policymaker interest in AI is on the rise.

The HAI asks:

How will AI affect human well-being?

Just like the earlier “State of AI Report”, the AI Index Report tracks, collates, distills, and visualizes data related to artificial intelligence.

So let’s get into it:
