AI Safety, Ethics & Governance

What if the real driver of AI safety growth isn’t innovation—but infrastructure? Maryland’s 31.6% surge in technical services firms since 2019 (NAICS 5419) isn’t about startups—it’s about policy readiness. This data, from the U.S. Census Bureau’s County Business Patterns 2019–2022, shows that institutional maturity enables AI safety scaling. The top performers aren’t just investing in tech—they’re building the systems to govern it. This is a global lesson: AI safety thrives where governance is embedded, not bolted on.
