Artificial Intelligence's Foothold Increases Going Into 2020
Artificial intelligence (AI) continues to expand its footprint in the enterprise and the economy. That's the word from the AI Index, an annual data update from Stanford University's Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute. The index tracks AI growth across a range of metrics, from papers published to patents granted to employment numbers. In terms of total employment, while AI-related jobs are but a small fraction, the share is rapidly expanding. In the U.S., the share of jobs in AI-related topics increased from 0.26% of total jobs posted in 2010 to 1.32% in October 2019 -- or five-fold growth.
