+ + Only includes private-market investment such as venture capital; excludes all investment in publicly traded companies, such as "Big Tech" firms. This data is expressed in US dollars, adjusted for inflation.
+ + - The data likely underestimates total global AI investment, as it only captures certain types of private equity transactions, excluding other significant channels and categories of AI-related spending.
- - - The dataset only covers private-market investment flows, such as venture capital. It excludes non-equity financing, such as debt and grants, and omits publicly traded companies, including major Big Tech firms (e.g., Amazon, Microsoft, Meta). As a result, significant investments from public companies, corporate R&D, government funding, and broader infrastructure costs (like data centers and hardware) are not captured, limiting the dataset’s coverage of global AI investments.

+ + - The data's "World" aggregate reflects the total investment represented in the data, but may not represent global AI efforts comprehensively, especially in countries not included in the data.
+ + - One-time events, such as large acquisitions, can distort yearly figures, while broader economic factors like interest rates and market sentiment can influence investment trends independently of AI-specific developments.

- - - The dataset likely underestimates the total global AI investment, as it only captures certain types of private equity transactions, excluding other significant channels and categories of AI-related spending.
- - - Reporting a time series of AI investments in nominal prices (i.e., without adjusting for inflation) means it makes little sense to compare observations across time; it is therefore not very useful. To make comparisons across time possible, one has to take into account that prices change (e.g., there is inflation).
- - - It is not obvious how to adjust this time series for inflation, and we debated it at some length within our team.
- - - It would be straightforward to adjust the time series for price changes if we knew the prices of the specific goods and services that these investments purchased. This would make it possible to calculate a volume measure of AI investments, and it would tell us how much these investments bought. But such a metric is not available. While a comprehensive price index is not available, we know that the cost for some crucial AI technology has fallen rapidly in price.

The inflation adjustment of this time series of AI investments therefore lets us understand the size of these investments relative to whatever else these sums of money could have purchased.

@veronikasamborska1994 Here are a few improvements I'd suggest for the AI investment data pages.
