The 2025 edition covers a range of topics including AI research breakthroughs, industry trends, geopolitical competition, and safety developments. It introduces an inaugural AI practitioner survey with over 1,200 respondents, highlighting that 95% of professionals use AI at work or home. The report also notes significant commercial traction, with 44% of U.S. businesses now paying for AI tools, up from 5% in 2023.
Key findings from the report include OpenAI maintaining a narrow lead at the AI frontier, while China's DeepSeek, Qwen, and Kimi are closing the gap.
