HAI: Artificial Intelligence Index Report 2024

The annual AI Index is recognized worldwide as one of the most credible and authoritative sources of data and insights on artificial intelligence. This year’s seventh edition focuses on key trends such as technical advances in AI, public perception of the technology and the geopolitical dynamics surrounding its development. The report also includes new estimates for training costs for AI, provides a detailed analysis of the AI landscape and discusses the impact of AI on science and medicine.

The data shows, among other things: AI makes workers more productive and leads to a higher quality of work. It can also outperform humans in areas such as image classification, visual thinking and English comprehension. At the same time, some studies warn that the use of AI without adequate monitoring can lead to reduced performance. The report also recognizes that AI still lags behind humans when it comes to more complex tasks such as visual reasoning and planning. AI therefore has the potential to enhance human capabilities, but not replace them. Another finding: There is a lack of standardization for responsible AI reporting with regard to the risks and limitations of AI models. However, this is necessary to ensure the safe and ethical development of AI. If you would like to find out more, you can download the complete index free of charge.
