Four Things You Need to Know about China’s AI Talent Pool
1. China’s Growing Importance in AI Talent
In 2022, Chinese researchers accounted for 26% of the most elite AI researchers, almost dethroning the US (American researchers accounted for 28%). This growth has been fueled by China’s expansion of AI programs across its university system and the development of an AI industry to absorb talent.
2. Retention of AI Researchers
The majority of AI researchers tend to stay in the country where they received their graduate degree. This finding suggests that countries can expand their research capacity by investing in graduate-level institutions and attracting overseas students.
3. US Still Dominates, but China is Catching Up
While the US still attracts the most AI talent, China is closing the gap. In 2022, 28% of the top AI researchers were working in China, demonstrating the growth of the domestic AI sector and job opportunities it has created.
4. Shift Towards Home Countries
More top-tier AI researchers are now choosing to work in their home countries, indicating a trend towards “brain gain” over “brain drain.” Countries are creating environments to retain their own talents and attract scholars from other countries, which bodes well for AI development globally.
