Where to Find Top AI Talent
Featuring Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at The Fletcher School of Law & Diplomacy at Tufts University, founding Executive Director of Fletcher’s Institute for Business in the Global Context, and co-author of the recent HBR article “50 Global Hubs for Top AI Talent.”

As the demand for artificial intelligence (AI) grows, so does the demand for AI talent. To find diverse AI talent, companies will need to look outside the usual technology talent hubs, such as the San Francisco Bay Area.
To identify the top hubs for AI talent, Bhaskar Chakravorti, Dean of Global Business at The Fletcher School at Tufts University, and his team at The Fletcher School have created a framework and compiled a ranking of the world’s top AI talent hubs.
On August 10, in a live, interactive HBR webinar, Chakravorti will discuss the TIDE framework for ranking the world’s AI talent hotspots according to its talent pool, investments, diversity of talent, and evolution of the location’s digital foundations. He will highlight which cities are the top AI talent hubs across the globe and will share several implications from this analysis.
Chakravorti will touch on topics including:
• The world’s top 50 hubs for AI talent
• Why AI talent exists in a wide range of cities
• The dynamic AI landscape in the developing world
• How remote work is spreading AI talent more broadly
• Which markets support the most gender and racial diversity
As companies rush to hire AI talent, Chakravorti’s framework, analysis, and insights may help organizations better consider where to recruit top talent—far beyond the usual technology hubs.
