“Concrete numbers enable the AI community to have more constructive conversations about how to make the best use of talent,” said Element AI CEO JF Gagné. “This year’s findings show a dramatic increase over last year’s global talent pool, which we think reflects the major investments in AI that have been made by both the public and private sectors in countries around the world. Nonetheless, the supply does not yet come close to meeting the demand, and our survey indicates just how far we have to go given how little top talent there is out there in the world,” added Gagné.
