Research and Development

Research and development is an integral force that drives the rapid progress of AI. Every year, a wide range of academic, industry, government, and civil society experts and organizations contribute to AI R&D via a slew of papers, journal articles, and other AI-related publications, conferences on AI or on particular subtopics like image recognition or natural language processing, international collaboration across borders, and the development of open-source software libraries. These R&D efforts are diverse in focus and geographically dispersed. This first chapter draws on multiple datasets to analyze key trends in the AI research and development space in 2021.
