Global AI talent report 2020

Abstract

This analysis expands the metrics and scope for measuring AI talent by including technical roles and shifting the focus to applied work, revealing a growing and global talent pool. It highlights quantitative analyses indicating a steady increase in authors publishing on arXiv and estimates a large talent pool for specialized industry roles. The national rankings prioritize countries that own the intellectual property, and mobility remains significant, even in the light of pandemic and remote work trends. Gender balance remains a challenge with slow progress. Research conducted by industry personnel is not widespread, and demand for new roles was steady until a dip in 2020. – AI-generated abstract.
