Forget About Amazon HQ2, Where will AI be Headquartered?

An estimated 1 million words (War & Peace twice over!) have been written speculating the much-anticipated outcome. Won't these new AI headquarters spawn the next 10 Amazons? To find these cities, don't just follow the city infrastructure, tax breaks, big companies, or nice weather. Go where the 50,000 AI engineers/scientists are today and where they are going tomorrow -- especially the 10,000 specialized researchers. Recruiting a top AI researcher is like recruiting an NFL quarterback: 8-figure, multi-year contracts, the whole nine yards.
