The World State of Artificial Intelligence Based on the Analysis of Research Papers and Patents
摘要
The artificial intelligence research works and patented developments in the last five years are shaping the future, having direct impact on the global economy and society. This paper provides a comprehensive literacy analysis and metrics sourced from the Lens.org platform. We focused the analysis on the current state of AI innovations, captured from research papers and patents. Since1978, the total number of registered research production is 1,262,789 papers (198,163 from 2019 to 2024), 2023being the most productive year (74,426 articles). The analysis underscores Asia, notably China (CH), as the primary hub for artificial intelligence research. Institutional affiliations reside in Asia, with the Chinese Academy of Sciences leading with 5512 articles. Wei Wang emerges as a prominent figure, and the thematic dominate cluster is computer vision. On the other hand, in the last five years of production, there were 316,883 patents. US leads the applications, followed by CH. Samsung Electronics Co. Ltd. is the first in the east, and IBM leads the west region. The top inventors are found at Qualcomm Inc. and LG Electronics. The main cluster is computing arrangement based on specific computational models, such as machine learning, learning methods, combinations of networks, backpropagation, recurrent networks, probabilistic graphical models, and inference or reasoning models. This analysis sheds light to researchers, policymakers, investors, and inventors on the current landscape of AI research and development, showing as its main insight that there is a wide gap between industry and academy.
