I read the 456-page AI Index report so you don't have to (kidding). The wild part? While AI gets ridiculously more accessible, the power gap is actually widening:

1ļøāƒ£ The democratization of AI capabilities is accelerating rapidly:
- The gap between open and closed models is basically closed: difference in benchmarks like MMLU and HumanEval shrunk to just 1.7% in 2024
- The cost to run GPT-3.5-level performance dropped 280x in 2 years
- Model size is shrinking while maintaining performance - Phi-3-mini hitting 60%+ MMLU at fraction of parameters of early models like PaLM

2ļøāƒ£ But we're seeing concerning divides deepening:
- Geographic: US private investment ($109B) dwarfs everyone else - 12x China's $9.3B
- Research concentration: US and China dominate highly-cited papers (50 and 34 respectively in 2023), while next closest is only 7
- Gender: Major gaps in AI skill penetration rates - US shows 2.39 vs 1.71 male/female ratio

The tech is getting more accessible but the benefits aren't being distributed evenly. Worth thinking about as these tools become more central to the economy.

Give it a read - fascinating portrait of where AI is heading! https://hai-production.s3.amazonaws.com/files/hai_ai_index_report_2025.pdf
