The Hoover Institution and the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) launched the 2024 AI Index Report, that was released on April 15, 2024.
The possibility that AI will automate most cognitive labor is worth taking seriously. How should we adapt to this transformation? I start from the perspective, articulated in the essay “AI as normal technology”, that the true bottlenecks lie downstream of capabilities and that AI’s impacts will unfold gradually over decades. If this is true, there are major gaps in our current evidence infrastructure, because it over-emphasizes the capability layer.

The AI Index is an annual report that tracks, collates, distills, and visualizes data relating to AI, recognized globally as one of the most credible and authoritative sources for data and insights on artificial intelligence. The discussion highlights the findings from the 2024 version of the report and relevant findings for policymakers.
The 2024 Index is the most comprehensive report to date, launching at a critical time when AI's impact on society is more pronounced than ever. The report has broadened its scope to more extensively cover key trends such as AI’s technical progress, public perceptions, and the geopolitical dynamics. Featuring an unprecedented amount of original data, the 2024 edition introduces new estimates on AI training costs, detailed analyses of the responsible AI landscape, and an entirely new chapter dedicated to AI's transformative impact on science and medicine.
This panel discussion was in person at the Hoover DC office.
