Index & pillar read

Index / pillarValueStandingWhat a high vs low value means, and where Connecticut sits
SPI State Power46.8Moderate · #22/51Mid-pack. High would mean a heavyweight that anchors national AI capacity and pulls in capital and talent; low would mean limited absolute weight, a smaller node leaning on capacity built in larger states.
▲ high: a heavyweight that anchors national AI capacity and pulls in capital and talent  ·  ▼ low: limited absolute weight, a smaller node leaning on capacity built in larger states
SCC State Coefficient58.5Strong · #15/51High here, deep capability per resident, a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy.
▲ high: deep capability per resident, a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy  ·  ▼ low: thin intensity per resident, capability is sparse relative to population
SDI State Agentic62.6Strong · #14/51High here, agents are widely deployed locally, a near-term productivity multiplier.
▲ high: agents are widely deployed locally, a near-term productivity multiplier  ·  ▼ low: agentic deployment is shallow, the local agent lever is under-used
Talent Talent56.7Strong · #13/51High here, a deep talent pool, the scarcest input to building AI.
▲ high: a deep talent pool, the scarcest input to building AI  ·  ▼ low: a shallow talent base that constrains how much can be built locally
Capital Capital44.4Moderate · #19/51Mid-pack. High would mean abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure; low would mean thin investment, good ideas struggle to scale locally.
▲ high: abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure  ·  ▼ low: thin investment, good ideas struggle to scale locally
Research Research53.8Moderate · #17/51Mid-pack. High would mean a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people; low would mean a weak research base, fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts.
▲ high: a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people  ·  ▼ low: a weak research base, fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts
Infrastructure Infrastructure75.1Strong · #13/51High here, the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place.
▲ high: the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place  ·  ▼ low: infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally
Agentic Agentic62.6Strong · #14/51High here, agents are actively deployed, an early-mover productivity edge.
▲ high: agents are actively deployed, an early-mover productivity edge  ·  ▼ low: little agentic deployment, the near-term lever is unused

Strengths to build on

  • Talent (56.7, Strong), a deep talent pool, the scarcest input to building AI.
  • Infrastructure (75.1, Strong), the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place.
  • Agentic (62.6, Strong), agents are actively deployed, an early-mover productivity edge.

Risk factors

  • No acute structural gaps stand out across the state pillars.
