In 1952 the first successful AI program ran in Manchester, England to play a game of checkers. Manchester may have made the opening move, but in the game of artificial intelligence, New York City is jumping across the board.

In October of 2023, New York City launched the country’s first AI action plan for the use of AI in city government. Empire AI was passed into law in April 2024 as a $400 million private-public investment to make New York the national leader in AI research and development. As of 2025, over 40,000 workers in the New York City region work with AI and AI-adjacent skills. 

Between the advancement of the AI and machine learning industries, and the city’s program assistance, the region is rapidly adapting to meet the field’s needs — especially for top-tier engineering talent. These are some of the companies that hire artificial intelligence and machine learning engineers in New York City.
