Much like social media fueled a firestorm of new job openings in the 2010s, and similarly to how the tech boom of the 2000s created multiple new opportunities for gainful employment, the latest trend of AI is driving considerable growth in the job market as well. In spite of the fact that this is the case, not all of these AI jobs are spread equally across the US. Luckily, the Brookings Institute has identified six of the hottest locations for AI jobs.
With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that San Francisco offers more AI opportunities than the rest of the major hotspots combined. 20 of the most highly valued AI startups in the world are based in San Francisco, thereby indicating that there are better paying jobs here than might have been the case otherwise.
Indeed, California itself is perhaps the single best location for anyone that wants to enjoy the AI space in the near future. Based on the findings presented within this report, 35 of the top 50 AI companies according to Forbes are located in this state along the Western Coast of the US.
Furthermore, 60% of jobs that are focused on the rapidly rising field of generative AI can be found in the Bay Area, further confirming that San Francisco is the place to be if you want to get in on the ground floor. Perhaps most importantly, OpenAI, widely considered to be the most promising AI start up in the world, has its base of operations in this region.
Coming in at a distant second is New York with four of the biggest AI start ups located there. Texas has a couple of decent companies in this space as well. One thing that might make New York a tad more appealing is that it contains Runway, an AI based video editing company that has made waves after helping create scenes in the critically acclaimed film Everything Everywhere All At Once. This just goes to show that there is a lot of diversity in the industry at present.
