Diffbot State of
Machine Learning
Report - 2018
Using the Diffbot Knowledge Graph*, we
identified 720,325 people skilled in
Machine Learning across the globe.
This makes up 0.009% of the global
population
*The Diffbot Knowledge Graph is a fully autonomous, AI-curated and structured database
of all of the public knowledge on the Web: more than 1 trillion facts and 10 billion entities.
This represents a repository of knowledge that is significantly larger than the Google
Knowledge Graph, and growing every day.
Global Distribution of Machine Learning Talent is
heavily centered in the US
Note: China is likely significantly
underrepresented in this count,
potentially due to the closed nature of
their Internet (Diffbot Knowledge
Graph is based on public information)
● 221,592 workers
skilled in ML reside
in the US
● 30.8% of global
talent pool
● More talent than
the rest of the top
10 combined
ML Skills by Country by Population
The “leaderboard” changes quite a bit...

California
Dominates the
Machine Learning
workforce, with
74,791 skilled ML
workers
That’s more than
New York, Texas,
and Massachusetts
combined

China’s ML Brain Drain
Even though 5 of the top 10 Global ML talent producing
universities are in China, their graduates aren’t staying...
University Graduates % in US % in China
Tsinghua University 4215 61.52% 32.84%
Peking University 3036 63.34% 31.09%
Shanghai Jiao Tong University 2572 58.75% 32.54%
University of Science and Technology of China 1785 66.16% 27.21%
Totals:
12,521 ML skilled Grads
62.39% left for the United States 31.14% Stayed in China
Machine Learning Skills by Gender & Age
Men and those under 40 years old make up the dramatic
majority of skilled ML workers
Male
Female
ML gender diversity: USA vs. The World
While the margins are small, China, Italy, Iran, and Turkey all outpace the United States in
terms of Machine Learning gender diversity...
Total ML Talent % Female
China 15,525 28.86%
Italy 13,961 27.10%
Iran 10,018 25.47%
Turkey 8,145 25.38%

France 28,487 21.01%
Israel 6,432 20.91%
Spain 11,057 20.01%
Worth noting:
The number of women with ML skills
in the US is greater than the entire ML
skilled workforce in the other top 5
countries combined.
