Top 10 countries by AI talent concentration in 2024-25: Where does India stand?
Top 10 countries with highest AI talent in 2024-25: The 2024 Work Trend Index from LinkedIn and Microsoft revealed that 66% of organisational leaders now say they would not consider candidates without AI skills, while 71% prefer less experienced talent with AI expertise over more seasoned professionals without it.
With the rising adoption of AI, the Stanford AI Index Report 2025 and LinkedIn revealed countries leading in AI talent concentration via the share of professionals with AI-related skills or job roles.
Israel leads the rankings with its AI talent concentration, accounting for 1.98% of its workforce, and Singapore follows next with AI talent making up 1.64% of its workforce.
This might be driven by significant AI-driven investments over the last decade, as, according to the same report, Israel, at 5th position, has made a total private investment of $15.0 billion, and Singapore, at 10th, has invested $7.3 billion in AI.
The top six countries in the 2024 rankings remain unchanged; notably, Ireland rose four places up to rank 7th, whereas South Korea fell three places to stand at 10th in 2024.
