The American think tank MacroPolo recently pointed out that in recent years, mainland China has heavily invested in AI education, nurturing 47% of the world's top AI researchers, significantly ahead of the US (18%), Europe (12%), and India (5%), making it the biggest cradle of AI talent. This is attributed to mainland China adding over 2,000 AI bachelor's programs since 2018, with over 300 at top-tier institutions. The research also shows that most Chinese who complete their PhDs in the US tend to stay there, but the US's leading position in attracting top AI talent is starting to decline with China's proportion of AI elites rising from 11% in 2019 to 28% in 2022, indicating more talent staying and contributing to the growing AI industry in mainland China.
