The numbers tell one story.

ZipRecruiter’s report reveals a concentration of A.I.-related job postings in just four states, with California, Washington, New York, and Massachusetts leading the pack. Meanwhile, CB Insights’ AI 100 list shows a dominance of US-based startups. The absence of startups from certain countries and industries, such as Australia, New Zealand, and South Korea, is notable. The report also highlights the growth of A.I. job postings in states outside of the traditional tech hubs.

As companies seek to capitalize on A.I. technology, it’s clear that some regions and industries are ahead of the curve. The question remains: what opportunities lie in the untapped markets?
