Where Does Your State Rank?
This 50-State AI Scorecard is from American Edge Project's new study entitled, "America's AI Surge: Powering Investment, Jobs, & Growth in Every State." The table below gives a first-of-its-kind, state-by-state ranking of AI's economic impact across the United States—from venture investment and tech job growth to data center construction and the jobs these AI factories are generating. We also rank which states pose the greatest threat to AI innovation through excessive regulation. See the report's Methodology section for sourcing and additional details.
