China overtakes the US as top workplace for elite AI researchers

Carnegie China data tracked last year, showing China employed 41.0% of leading AI researchers versus 34.0% in the US.

Reported · Written up by our desk · China

Silicon Valley is no longer the top destination for elite AI researchers, with more talent choosing to build careers in China, according to a study released this week by think tank Carnegie China, as reported by SCMP Economy.

Carnegie China said China employed 41.0% of the world’s leading AI researchers tracked by the study last year, compared with 34.0% in the United States.

The report also described a reversal from 2022, when the US led with 46.0% versus China’s 27.0%.
