Every year, Stanford University, specifically its Human-Centered Artificial Intelligence Institute (HAI), publishes the Annual AI Index Report, which offers a comprehensive analysis of the global state of artificial intelligence (AI).
The 2025 edition of the AI Index reveals record growth in AI capabilities, private investment, and government regulation.
Here is the brief summary:
🔹 AI models: Remarkable progress, with new benchmarks demonstrating significant improvements in performance
🔹 Multimodal models: Greater development of models capable of processing multiple types of data; such as text, image, and audio, that increases versatility across a range of applications.
🔹 Investment growth: In 2024, private AI funding in the United States increased significantly, exceeding China’s by nearly 12 times and the United Kingdom’s by 24 times.
🔹 Industry adoption: Widespread adoption of AI across all sectors, boosting productivity and driving new AI-based applications.
Points of interest:
► Approximately 90% of AI models in 2024 came from the healthcare industry.
► In 2024, private AI investments in the United States exceeded those of China by nearly 12 times and the United Kingdom by 24 times.
► In 2023, the FDA approved 223 clinical developments incorporating AI.
And let’s dive deeper into the last point:
On the official FDA website, there are currently 1,016 records of clinical developments approved since 1995 that incorporate AI/ML.
These are mainly advanced algorithms for diagnosis, patient monitoring, and medical image analysis.
Clinically and commercially impactful clinical developments incorporating AI/ML
We can see that many of the models that are having an impact in the ecosystem are directly or indirectly linked to the field of medical imaging, particularly Radiology.
More than 70% of advanced healthcare systems now integrate AI for medical search, personalized treatments, and resource optimization. The implementation of models that not only assist but optimize clinical performance is increasingly common. This is especially evident in diagnostics, where AI improves accuracy, speed, and the ability to make informed decisions in real time.
In addition to improving clinical outcomes, AI is revolutionizing operational efficiency
in hospitals and pharmaceutical companies.
