AI Governance Research Share

14% of all AI-related publications now focus on governance topics.

This represents a growing recognition that AI governance is a research domain in its own right, not just a policy afterthought. China and the United States together account for 54% of this governance research output.

The concentration of governance research in the same countries dominating AI development suggests feedback loops between capability advancement and governance knowledge production, though whether this research translates to effective governance outcomes remains an open question.
