The AI Index Report tracks, collates, distills, and visualizes data related to artificial intelligence. Our mission is
to provide unbiased, rigorously vetted, broadly sourced data in order for policymakers, researchers, executives, journalists, and the general public to develop a more thorough and nuanced understanding of the complex field of AI. The report aims to be the world’s most credible and authoritative source for data and insights about AI.

“Self-supervised learning, dubbed “the dark matter of intelligence” 1, is a promising path to advance machine learning. As opposed to supervised learning, which is limited by the availability of labeled data, self-supervised approaches can learn from vast unlabeled data [Chen et al., 2020b, Misra and Maaten, 2020]. Self-supervised learning (SSL) underpins deep learning’s success in natural language processing leading to advances from automated machine translation to large language models trained on web-scale corpora of unlabeled text [Brown et al., 2020, Popel et al., 2020]. In computer vision, SSL pushed new bounds on data size with models such as SEER trained on 1 billion images [Goyal et al., 2021]. SSL methods for computer vision have been able to match or in some cases surpass models trained on labeled data, even on highly competitive benchmarks like ImageNet [Tomasev et al., 2022, He et al., 2020a, Deng et al., 2009]. SSL has also been successfully applied across other modalities such as video, audio, and time series [Wickstrøm et al., 2022, Liu et al., 2022a, Schiappa et al., 2022a].”
