Collaboration
International partnerships among scholars, industry specialists, and others play a vital role in advancing STEM fields. They foster quick sharing of new concepts and team expansion. The chart shows major international AI partnerships from 2010 to 2021, excluding the U.S.-China partnership.
Most collaborations
Over the last 12 years, the predominant collaborations have been between the United States and China, witnessing an approximately fourfold increase since 2010.
CSET* tallied collaborations across countries by identifying unique pairs of nations among authors for each paper. For instance, a publication with four authors from the U.S. and four from China is recorded as a single U.S.-China collaboration.
