Probably in the blundering sense of "exponential", meaning a lot. But what are some specific numbers? (such as publications)

So, it's not even monotonically growing.

Eh, it's a little tricky. A lot of research marketed under the "AI" umbrella would be categorized under cs.LG (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.LG/recent), cs.CV (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.CV/recent), cs.CL (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.CL/recent), and to a lesser degree cs.NE (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.NE/recent). Oh, and of course, cs.AI (https://arxiv.org/list/cs.AI/recent). Not every one of those areas has grown monotonically, but the growth in CV and CL especially has been explosive over the last ten years.

No recent data seems to be available.
