Index & pillar read
| Index / pillar | Value | Standing | What a high vs low value means — and where Texas sits |
|---|---|---|---|
| SPI State Power | 82.7 | Leading · #3/51 | High here — a heavyweight that anchors national AI capacity and pulls in capital and talent. ▲ 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 Coefficient | 65.9 | Strong · #9/51 | High 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 Agentic | 66.7 | Strong · #12/51 | High 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 Talent | 55.6 | Strong · #13/51 | High 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 Capital | 69.1 | Leading · #5/51 | High here — abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure. ▲ high: abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure · ▼ low: thin investment — good ideas struggle to scale locally |
| Research Research | 62.9 | Strong · #8/51 | High here — a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people. ▲ high: a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people · ▼ low: a weak research base — fewer home-grown breakthroughs and spinouts |
| Infrastructure Infrastructure | 75.4 | Strong · #11/51 | High 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 Agentic | 66.7 | Strong · #12/51 | High 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
- Capital (69.1, Leading) — abundant capital flowing into building cognitive infrastructure.
- Research (62.9, Strong) — a strong research base feeding a pipeline of ideas and people.
- Infrastructure (75.4, Strong) — the physical and digital rails to run AI at scale are in place.
Risk factors
- No acute structural gaps stand out across the state pillars.
