A study from the Brookings Institution suggests that the rise of generative artificial intelligence, fueled by the popularity of the ChatGPT chatbot, could further solidify the San Francisco Bay Area's position as a technology development hub.
The report says that generative AI activity appears to be highly concentrated so far, with nearly half of generative AI job postings of the last year published in just six metro areas: San Francisco, San Jose, New York, Los Angeles, Boston, and Seattle.
Research tracing hundreds of new technologies over decades shows that the pioneering hubs for development typically retain a vast amount of the wealth and skills generated from them.
"This exciting new technology may drive more clustering, and that is a problem economically, demographically, and for society," said Mark Muro, an author of the report and a senior fellow at Brookings Metro.
