Artificial Intelligence (AI) is transforming industries worldwide, and Massachusetts is uniquely positioned to lead this revolution as a state with a rich history in AI development, world-class academic institutions, thriving industry sectors and a commitment to innovation.
As stated in Governor Healey's announcement, the Massachusetts AI Hub is established at the Massachusetts Technology Collaborative and "serves as the central entity for coordinating and managing key assets required for AI innovation, including data resources, high-performance computer power and interdisciplinary research. Convening Massachusetts’ world-class ecosystem of talent, industry and academia, the AI Hub will accelerate research, foster homegrown industry from our universities and colleges, deploy AI for real-world applications, and train our state’s current and future workforce.
The framework for the Massachusetts AI Hub is informed by recommendations from the state’s AI Strategic Task Force, which the governor established in February 2024 to explore how the Healey-Driscoll administration can best support AI adoption and innovation to drive economic growth. The AI Strategic Task Force, co-chaired by the Executive Office of Economic Development and Executive Office of Technology Services and Security in partnership with the City of Boston and the University of Massachusetts, and comprised of representatives from universities, industry, and state and local government, presented its final recommendations to the governor in this report."
