@Stanford Some summary points from report highlights (refer pages 5-6):
Between 1998 and 2018, the volume of peer-reviewed AI papers has grown by more than 300%.
China now publishes as many AI journal and conference papers per year as Europe, having passed the US
in 2006.

@Stanford Technical performance:
In past 18 months, time required to train a large image classification system has fallen from about 3 hrs to about 88 sec.
Prior to 2012, AI results closely tracked Moore’s Law (compute doubling every 2 yrs). Post-2012 - doubling every 3.4 months.

@Stanford "Industry has become, by far, the largest consumer of AI talent. In 2018, over 60% of AI PhD graduates
went to industry, up from 20% in 2004. In 2018, over twice as many AI PhD graduates went to industry as
took academic jobs in the US."

20% of the new faculty hires in 2018. Similarly, the share of female AI PhD recipients has remained virtually
constant at 20% since 2010 in the US."
