The US attracted $285.9 billion of the $336 billion in private investment tracked across AI companies in 2025, according to a Visual Capitalist graphic based on Stanford AI Index data. China was second at $12.4 billion, while the UK ranked third with $5.9 billion.
Why it mattersThat is a striking lead, but this is private investment only: the figures exclude government-backed funding, including China’s. The graphic was produced in partnership with Terzo, so its sponsor gets a mention where the numbers do.
Discuss: Does private funding tell us who is winning the AI race, or is leaving out government investment too large a gap?
