The top 25 cities for recruiting skilled artificial intelligence talent

The rapid rise of artificial intelligence adoption is disrupting many industries, most notably the banking and financial services sector. The many individual technologies that are included under the umbrella title of artificial intelligence are promising great opportunities for business efficiencies, but at the same time, creating new challenges. One of these new challenges is determining the best location to relocate or expand offices and service centers of banks, insurance companies, investment houses and other financial services companies that collectively are leading the national charge of incorporating AI technologies into their day-to-day operations. Not surprisingly, with the growing need for the latest in AI skillsets and the academic resources for recruiting and retraining of displaced workers, relocation firms such as Princeton, NJ-based The Boyd Co. are targeting those North American cities that offer superior academic programs in artificial intelligence. Indeed, the ability to provide an artificial intelligence workforce is emerging as a new site selection driver – and one that Boyd expects to soon extend well beyond the financial services sector.
