Zeki Research

Zeki identifies and ranks the top one percent of AI talent globally. Our proprietary dataset provides unprecedented quantitative insights into the world’s leading researchers, scientists, and engineers. Zeki’s goal is to bring transparency to this talent, particularly the top young emerging talent at the frontier of discovery and innovation. Zeki’s AI dataset is the only of its kind in the world- including more than individuals and over 2 million unique data points. We provide precise, data-led insights on where and how to find, attract, and retain top women in AI. This actionable intelligence provides organizations with a first mover advantage to identify investment opportunities, accelerate innovation, and acquire premier talent. Our co-founder, Tom Hurd, was the Head of Intelligence Analysis in the UK before serving as Head of the UK’s Homeland Security department. He was also responsible for setting up the UK’s Joint Biosecurity Centre, a data-led organisation that brought data science and public health expertise together to spot earlier and more accurately COVID-19 outbreaks. Our flagship report, the State of AI Talent 2024, provides direct insights on the countries, companies, universities, and sectors winning and losing in the race for top AI talent.
