    Study Notes

    Industry Influence in AI Research

    • Industry is increasingly dominating AI research, shifting the balance away from academia.
    • Deep learning, a data-and-compute-intensive subfield, is the leading AI technology.
    • Industry controls crucial elements of modern AI research: computing power, massive datasets, and skilled researchers.
    • Industry's prominence in AI research is evident in publications, cutting-edge models, and key benchmarks.
    • Industry access to large, valuable datasets is essential, as their business operations generate significant data, like WhatsApp's 100 billion messages per day.

    Industry Dominance of AI Inputs

    • Industry excels at attracting AI talent. A significant portion of North American AI PhD graduates now are employed by industry.
    • The percentage of AI PhDs joining industry has risen dramatically, from 21% in 2004 to almost 70% in 2020. This trend is exceeding the average for all engineering fields.
    • Computer science research faculty specializing in AI are in high demand and being hired by industry in increasing numbers, an eight-fold increase since 2006.
    • Industry's computing power, especially for image classification, is vastly larger than academia's, increasing faster as well. Industry models are 29 times larger, on average, than academic ones in 2021.
    • Canada's National Advanced Research Computing Platform demonstrates that academic demand for GPUs has increased 25-fold since 2013, but industry demand is not matching supply.

    Industry Funding and Research Outcomes

    • Industry investments in AI are significantly higher and growing faster than public investments.
    • Global industry spending on AI surpassed US$340 billion in 2021, drastically exceeding public sector funding.
    • Public investments (e.g., US government agencies and European Commission) in AI research are notably lower compared to industry investment.
    • Industry's growing influence in AI research is reflected in a substantial increase in research papers co-authored with industry personnel (from 22% in 2000 to 38% in 2020) and the leading percentage of largest AI models generated by industry (from 11% in 2010 to 96% in 2021).

    Policy Implications and Concerns

    • Industry dominance in AI research raises concerns about the scarcity of public-interest alternatives for crucial AI tools.
    • A potential imbalance exists, where commercial interests may overshadow public good considerations in AI development.
    • The significant computing power and models created by industry have implications for academic development potentially shifting academic research focus negatively.
    • Industry’s extensive investments can create valuable tools for the entire community (like PyTorch and TensorFlow).
    • Public concern exists regarding the potential for job displacement or societal inequality due to AI.
