AI in Higher Education

🏆 15.9% of U.S. Business and Computer Schools in Top 3 Metros — ALEX Intelligence, 2026. The concentration of higher education innovation in just three metros — New York, Los Angeles, and Chicago — reveals a deep structural imbalance. While these hubs drive AI and digital curriculum development, the rest of the country risks being left behind. This is not just about access — it’s about who gets to define the future of AI in education. The data comes from ALEX Intelligence’s latest analysis: https://alex-companies.com/data/2026-09-15-ai-higher-ed-conc-6114-msa. As AI reshapes learning, we must ask: Is innovation truly open, or is it becoming a geographic monopoly? How can institutions outside the top 3 metros co-lead the next wave of AI-driven education?
