AI AND THE CITY
Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter
AI is driving more distributed business formation in the US, with a rise in new companies forming outside major cities and in outer suburbs. This trend began during COVID-19 with remote work and accelerated with AI, yet business formation does not correlate directly with work-from-home levels. AI labs and product companies still cluster in major metro areas like San Francisco, highlighting the continued value of agglomeration for innovation.
