About this report

A substantial statistical reference covering AI development and its effects across the economy and society. The chapters assemble indicators on research activity, technical performance, responsible AI, investment and work, then examine science, medicine, education, governance and public opinion. Its value lies in comparing different kinds of evidence within one documented framework, including the limits of rapidly changing evaluations. Use it to ground presentations, locate a baseline for further analysis, or distinguish measured trends from claims based on isolated examples.

The PDF is in English. This introduction and content guide are available in your selected language.
