Four things you need to know about China's AI talent pool

Now the think tank behind the report has published an updated analysis, showing how the makeup of global AI talent has changed since--during a critical period when the industry has shifted significantly and become the hottest technology sector. The team at MacroPolo, a think tank that focuses on US-China relations, studied the national origin, educational background, and current work affiliation of top researchers who gave presentations and had papers accepted at NeurIPS, a top academic conference on AI. Their analysis of the 2019 conference resulted in the first iteration of the Global AI Talent Tracker. They've analyzed the December 2022 NeurIPS conference for an update three years later. I recommend you read the original report, which has a very well-designed infographic that shows the talent flow across countries.
