Mississippi — standing in full

Mississippi is the #37 state by economic size ($130bn GSP) and ranks #41/51 on absolute State Power and #50/51 on per-capita intensity. No pillar stands out as a clear strength; the binding concern is agentic.

Index & pillar read

Index / pillarValueStandingWhat a high vs low value means — and where Mississippi sits
SPI State Power22.1Developing · #41/51Low here — 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 Coefficient9.2Lagging · #50/51Low here — thin intensity per resident — capability is sparse relative to population.
▲ high: deep capability per resident — a concentrated, high-intensity AI economy  ·  ▼ low: thin intensity per resident — capability is sparse relative to population
SDI State Agentic9.0Lagging · #50/51Low here — agentic deployment is shallow — the local agent lever is under-used.
▲ high: agents are widely deployed locally — a near-term productivity multiplier  ·  ▼ low: agentic deployment is shallow — the local agent lever is under-used
Talent Talent7.5Lagging · #50/51Low here — a shallow talent base that constrains how much can be built locally.
▲ 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 Capital8.7Lagging · #50/51Low here — 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 Research9.3Lagging · #50/51Low here — 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 Infrastructure11.6Lagging · #50/51Low here — infrastructure gaps cap how much AI can actually be run locally.
▲ 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 Agentic9.0Lagging · #50/51Low here — little agentic deployment — the near-term lever is unused.
▲ high: agents are actively deployed — an early-mover productivity edge  ·  ▼ low: little agentic deployment — the near-term lever is unused

Strengths to build on

  • No pillar stands out as a clear strength yet.

Risk factors

  • Binding weakness — Agentic 9.0 (#50/51, Lagging): little agentic deployment — the near-term lever is unused.
