Economic development

• The integration of AI-based technologies into regional economies through the manufacturing and design of goods such as smartphones and smart speakers has sparked significant changes, leading to increased efficiency, innovation and economic growth.
• This suggests that regions that actively support the development of these technologies are likely to witness a positive relationship between workforce transformation and economic growth.

Technology and creativity

• There are two significant points Florida makes about regional growth dynamics related to AI-based technologies and regional growth.
• This means that creative class members are a basic driver of regional economic growth and development.
• As an expert on regional economics, I and my colleagues studied the use of AI-based technologies and regional economic growth.

AI and economic growth

• So how do initial differences between creative regions in the use of AI-based technologies affect long-term economic growth?
• What effects do initial differences in the use of AI-based technologies between, for instance, San Francisco and Seattle have on long-term economic growth in these same cities?

Long-term growth

Consider two regions, A and B – think of A as the San Francisco Bay Area and B as Seattle. A is able to save double the amount that B does investing in an advanced AI-based technology, and A also invests twice as much as B in improving the skills of its creative workforce.

• In simple terms, even small differences in savings rates early on can lead to significant gaps in economic output per creative individual over time.
• Once again, the relatively minor initial differences in the two savings rates translate into a greatly magnified impact on the long-run values of skills per creative person.

Some policy lessons

• Second, consider a creative region that is lagging another creative region in terms of output and skills per creative person.
• For such a region to get ahead, it will need to increase its investment in AI-based technology and skills.
• Research shows that AI assets and capabilities in the U.S. are concentrated in San Francisco, San Jose, New York, Los Angeles, Boston and Seattle.
