...San Diego is in a strong position to benefit from the expansion of artificial intelligence, according to a study “Measuring the Future: AI and San Diego’s Economy” released last week from the San Diego Regional Economic Development Corp.
While the study did not pinpoint a specific number of artificial intelligence jobs in the region, it did highlight industries with above-average employment in AI fields.
They include telecommunications, information technology, software and transportation. Large companies with operations in San Diego such as Booz Allen Hamilton, Northrop Grumman and ResMed — as well as smaller businesses such as Lytx, Lockton and Semantic AI — are among the firms developing artificial intelligence technology in the region.
