The world's first AI Cities Index has been published by British newspaper The Observer. The index, compiled over the course of eight months, positions 57 cities in 36 countries
according to their investment, innovation, and implementation of artificial intelligence.
Using a combination of quantitative data and qualitative fieldwork, the index maps the technology's ever-expanding reach in a bid to make sense of the shape and distribution of the world's leading AI hubs and their future growth.
The index draws on seven key measures—infrastructure, operating environment, development, research, commercial ecosystem, private investment, and public investment—as indicators to determine the order of each city within the list, scored accordingly.
In this gallery, we list in descending order the top 30 cities on the index, thriving AI hubs that include those in Europe, North America, and the Far East. To find out more, click on.
