Making sense of artificial intelligence at a city scale
Building on the success of the Global AI Index, The Observer's AI Cities Index is a first-of-its-kind.
Much like earlier general purpose technologies like electricity and cars, artificial intelligence has a footprint that is distinctly urban.
Cities serve as hubs of AI innovation and production, and are increasingly sizing each other up as competition to dominate the field intensifies.
As AI expands in scale and application, a granular record of its spread provides an essential guide to its potential.

What do we measure?
Working to reflect the current landscape of artificial intelligence, we use composite indicators to score cities based on AI capacity.
