BCG – Where Will Tomorrows AI Geniuses Go, Jul 2025

The main theme of the report is the analysis of global competition for attracting talent in the field of artificial intelligence (AI).

Key findings include the potential for a shift in the influence map in the AI field as other countries seek to attract and retain researchers, which could strengthen their positions as centers of technological innovation. The document emphasizes that even a slight decrease in the influx of AI talent to the US could significantly bolster the efforts of other countries, such as the EU, UK, Canada, Japan, and some Gulf countries, in becoming global technology providers. Changes in immigration policy and government funding for R&D in the US could have a significant impact on global competition for AI leadership.
