AI Across America
AI Across America creates high-trust spaces where policymakers, researchers, scientists, academics, students, and industry collaborate on AI infrastructure development, responsible deployment, and tech literacy. We turn complex AI challenges into real-world progress and community action, viewing this as ecosystem work where we can coordinate local partners to drive government support for AI resources, 6th–12th grade literacy, small business adoption, and science and innovation investments.
In particular, we convene conversations to help participants understand AI, how to support R&D, and the risks and benefits of different policy solutions. Partners can gain a direct role in shaping practical solutions with community leaders, government officials, and national organizations.
The pillars driving AI Across America:
Education: Individual Americans and their local representatives need to understand how to use AI and how it can benefit them.
Competitiveness: Communities that do not adopt AI fall behind.
Participation: AI know-how must extend beyond elite hubs.
Resilience: Widespread literacy and adoption strengthen U.S. civic and economic durability.

Past Events
AI Across America: Salt Lake City — December 1st
On December 1st, SeedAI and the State of Utah’s Office of AI Policy (the first in the nation!) are co-hosted a workshop designed specifically for local businesses eager to embrace AI adoption.
The workshop was titled Business Builders & AI: Practical Help to Integrate and Leverage AI in Your Business. And the format reflected how we think this work should actually happen: direct, tailored, and hands-on.
Attendees worked directly with other Utah businesses, AI service providers, local support teams, and technical partners to identify how to reliably leverage AI in their operations. No issue was too big or too small, whether you're looking to boost day-to-day efficiency or solve a persistent challenge that's been slowing you down.
In 2024, AI Across America hosted a Hack the Future event series across Miami, Long Beach, Denver, Houston, Phoenix, Austin, and Tulsa.
