The US leads the AI ranking index with three times more investment and job postings than China and other countries, according to a report.

A new report shows that the U.S. leads the world in the fastest-developing artificial intelligence (AI) industries, according to a study.

"The advancement of AI technology worldwide is due to significant private investments and a growing number of AI start-ups, according to Liviu Tanase, founder and CEO of ZeroBounce."

""Over the past decade, billions have been invested, resulting in a substantial increase in AI-related job opportunities and innovation, as companies strive to stay competitive by developing skilled AI workforces," Tanase stated."

He stated that the integration of AI in various industries will be crucial in determining the future of global technology through investments and developments.

According to the Jerusalem Post, the report from ZeroBounce examined the AI development and capabilities of 10 countries, including the United States, China, United Kingdom, Singapore, Canada, South Korea, Israel, Germany, Japan, and Australia.

The company heavily relied on data from websites Statista and GlobalData, as well as a general AI index calculated by Tortoise Media, a British news website founded by James Harding in 2018.

Despite having a lower composite score and global index rating due to fewer AI job postings and talent, the U.K. has invested the third-most in AI over the past decade and in the past year alone.

Over the past decade, the study examined private investment in AI, the number of AI start-ups, and the number of AI-specific jobs in the market.

Over the past decade, the U.S. has invested $335 billion in private AI technology, with $67.22 billion spent in the last year. Additionally, there are around 5,500 start-ups in this field. According to Enterprise Times, there were 71,000 job openings for AI in 2024, which accounted for 1.62% of all job postings.

While those numbers outstrip China, which has roughly one-third as much investment and fewer start-ups and job openings in the same time frame, China compensates with a higher number of specialists.

Israel has invested heavily in AI development to maintain its competitive edge in the region, as detailed in numerous reports. Prior to Oct. 7, Israel showcased its impressive capabilities and potential, particularly in law enforcement and military applications.

An Israel Defense Forces operator was able to identify targets both in front and behind his tank using a specially designed helmet that helped him filter battlefield data. The tank also seamlessly communicated the information to a nearby tank, which immediately responded to the data and identified the target instead.
