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. An updated 2025 report is in the works. 

Public Policy Paper Collections

Policy Commons Harvard Key

Claims to be the largest curated database of policy literature produced by more than 24,000 think tanks, agencies, governments, and cities; also notable for its inclusion of information from and about the Global South.

 

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.
