The Annual AI Index
The AI Index Report 2024 (Stanford University)
Recognized globally as one of the most authoritative and credible sources of information on this fast-moving technology, the AI Index Report tracks, collates, distills, and visualizes data related to artificial intelligence (AI). Its mission is to provide unbiased, rigorously vetted, broadly sourced data in order for policymakers, researchers, executives, journalists, and the general public to develop a more thorough and nuanced understanding of the complex field of AI.
For a condensed and visualized version of the 2024 report, see the AI Index: State of AI in 13 Charts.
Previous editions of the Report (back to 2017) can be accessed at the bottom of this page.

THINK TANK SEARCH HARVARD KENNEDY SCHOOL LIBRARY
Our HKS Librarians created this custom Google search engine to collect in one place the public policy research, analysis, and activity that lives on websites scattered across the web. The Think Tank Search draws from universities, governments, advocacy groups, foundations, and non-governmental organizations.
Policy papers typically don't get published the same way as journals, but they circulate in other ways and they influence thinking and debate. They'll probably be indispensable to your Unit 2 projects, given the seismic social, political, and cultural shifts that generative AI has set in motion.
Note: Think tanks aren't neutral and some are more presitgious than others. The HKS Guide has a helpful section on Evaluating Think Tanks that's worth a look.
