Close to one third of the top-tier artificial intelligence (AI) research teams currently working for institutions in the United States (US) were entirely composed of immigrants as of late 2019. This means that all researcher on the team received their undergraduate degree outside of the United States. Close to half of this group of AI research teams have a mixture of U.S.-origin researchers and those with an immigrant background.
