@HPCpodcast-103: Stanford AI Index 2025 w Nestor Maslej
We are delighted to again welcome Nestor Maslej of the Stanford Institute for Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence (HAI) at Stanford University to discuss the latest edition of the the annual Stanford AI Index and Stanford Global AI Vibrancy Tool. Nestor has degrees from Harvard and Oxford in addition to being a fellow at the Center for International Governance Innovation. We touch on several of the 12 key findings of the report as we highlight important issues in AI such as its impact on jobs, geopolitics, and social trust.
This year’s report is 456 pages covering a wide range of topics in eight chapters:
1) Research and Development
2) Technical Performance
3) Responsible AI
4) Economy
5) Science and Medicine
6) Policy and Governance
7) Education
8) Public Opinion
We discussed last year’s report in episode 85 on June 7th, 2024. We recommend that you listen to both podcasts to get a more complete view.
