卡内基研究：中国超过美国成为顶尖 AI 人才首选工作地
卡内基用 NeurIPS 作者数据发现中国 40.6% 的占比首次反超美国的 34.2%，签证和就业机会都在起作用，数据很扎实。
卡内基中国的一项研究显示，越来越多中国 AI 研究者选择留在国内工作。以 2026 年观测的 2025 届 NeurIPS 作者为例，40.6% 在中国工作，34.2% 在美国，扭转了 2022 年中国 27.1%、美国 46.4% 的格局。卡内基认为国内岗位供给增加和美国签证收紧是可能因素，但强调这是推测而非实证结论。
More Chinese AI researchers are staying in their home country for work, helping China become the top destination for elite AI talent, a Carnegie China study found.
Data from Flourish and carnegieendowment
For the 2025 NeurIPS cohort, observed in 2026, 40.6% were counted as working in China and 34.2% in the U.S., reversing 27.1% and 46.4% for 2022.
Carnegie says stronger domestic job availability and tighter U.S. visa restrictions likely contributed to the retention increase, framing them as likely factors rather than measured causes.
