Silicon Valley Leads the Race to Become America's Top AI Hub, But Other Major Cities Are Gaining Ground

Several major U.S. cities like San Francisco, New York, Seattle, and Los Angeles are competing to be the top AI center.

San Francisco currently leads in AI startups, VC funding, and jobs, with 27% of U.S. AI professionals.

The mayor of San Jose, CA has proposed an innovative plan to partner with San Jose State University to create an AI incubator.

San Jose's plan includes incentives like discounted utilities and fast permitting to attract AI firms and startups.

With its concentration of AI talent and companies, Silicon Valley has an advantage, but other cities are trying to catch up.
