The U.S. is far and away the global leader in AI startup creation and private-sector investment over the past decade, according to S&P Global.
In a report published July 9, S&P said the number of AI companies founded in the U.S. between 2013 and 2023 totaled 5,509. That's more than all the other countries combined and nearly four times more than second-placed China, which saw the creation of 1,446 in that span. Rounding out the top five are the U.K. with 727, Israel with 442, and Canada with 397.
