The takeaways from Stanford’s 386-page report on the state of AI

Stanford's Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence released its 386-page AI Index, a yearly survey of the field that draws on experts from academia and private industry. The report finds that AI development has shifted from academia-led to industry-led by a large margin, and that the number of "AI incidents and controversies" has risen by a factor of 26 since 2012. It also reports that more than 70% of Chinese, Saudi, and Indian respondents felt AI had more benefits than drawbacks, compared with 35% of Americans.
