📖 Stanford published a 423 pages long 2026 AI index report.
The AI Index shows model progress acceleratingwith top systems matching human performance in coding, science, and math, rendering older benchmarks less useful. The U.S.-China gap is minimal; the U.S. leads in top models and private investment, while China dominates papers, citations, patents, and deployment. AI adoption reached 53% of the global population in three years, driving business uptake and consumer surplus.
Responsible AI lags: incidents rose to 362, safety reporting is weak, and tradeoffs persist. Hardware remains crit
