Production and Trade of Knowledge- and Technology-Intensive Industries
This report discusses U.S. and global KTI production patterns and international trade. The report shows that KTI industries value added account for about a 10th of U.S. GDP. In 2022, China and the United States were the top two producers of KTI output, each representing over a quarter of global KTI value added. And China has been the leading KTI manufacturing exporter since 2008. In 2022, the United States and Germany were the next largest KTI goods exporters.

Science and Technology : Public Perceptions, Awareness, and Information Sources
This report describes confidence in science, understanding of scientific research and new topics such as neurotechnology and artificial intelligence, and engagement with science through media and scientific activities. The majority of U.S. adults — 77 % as of September 2022 — express at least a fair amount of confidence in scientists to act in the public interest. Evidence also suggests perceptions of new science and technology topics may change as experiences grow. U.S. adults with greater understanding of scientific logic tend to express more trust in scientists to act in society ’ s best interests than do those wi...
