When people think of Detroit, their minds likely hit a few key points: auto manufacturing (“The Motor City of America”), music (the legendary sounds of Motown), and poverty (once the country’s poorest metropolitan area). However, the Detroit Renaissance has transformed the city into a surprising new tech center in recent years. The 2022 Global Startup Ecosystem Report listed Detroit as the biggest emerging startup ecosystem and a new tech hub for the Midwest. It also ranked 25th in CBRE’s annual “Scoring Tech Talent” report the same year.
A big part of this surge is due to artificial intelligence and machine learning. An article published on LinkedIn by Emeka Bronson on February 1,2025, stated that Detroit is “not simply adapting to the future—it’s shaping it.” Bronson noted that AI helped fuel 1,900 new tech jobs annually in the city. They also said Detroit’s unique potential for AI development is thanks to its strong energy grid, with firms like DTE Energy bringing 8,000 new jobs and $9.2 billion in capital to the tech sector every year. Who would have guessed that Motor City would become AI Town?
In a 2023 news report posted on Metromode about metro Detroit, writer Genevieve Fox discussed then-burgeoning artificial intelligence market and its potential impact on the city. Fox discussed three businesses tapping into this industry in its infancy: Waymark, Jet’s Pizza, and Detroit Medical Center. Clearly, some of Motown’s biggest movers and thinkers were already jumping headfirst into AI usage and quickly understood its potential impact. Since then, the region has seen steady, if slightly slow, development in this sector and related subsectors.
Unsurprisingly, some of the city’s biggest industries and markets have happily jumped into this artificial intelligence boom. Whether using AI to develop new products and services or to streamline their operations, Detroit businesses have intelligently pivoted to tapping into these industry-changing tools. As a result, individuals interested in AI can easily find high-quality jobs that fit their experiences and interests. For Detroit, a city that for so long seemed up against the ropes economically, artificial intelligence represents a powerful way to continue its development.
On November 10,2023, Crain’s Detroit published the article “Metro Detroit is Quietly Becoming a Hub for Artificial Intelligence Inventions” by Anna Fifelski. She states that Michigan has issued the largest number of artificial and machine learning patents in the Midwest since 2010, with Detroit ranking among the top nine in the nation. Then, in 2024, the City of Detroit published an article, “City of Detroit Encourages Contractors to Innovate with AI and Tech Driven Solutions, ” highlighting the region’s effort to attract even more business: Motown is booming!
A report by the Detroit Regional Chamber in 2022 found that the healthcare industry was the fastest-growing job market in the state through 2030. A growth of 50% (with jobs making $48-60-hourly) shows a heavy need for health professionals in this region, particularly in its most populated areas (like the Motor City). Furthermore, this sector needs high-quality artificial intelligence experts to integrate tools like automatic patient trackers, health monitors, and data-management processes to streamline their operational efficiency.
Even though the Motor City’s automotive manufacturing sector has faced challenges in recent years, it still offers vast career opportunities, especially in artificial intelligence. According to the Detroit Regional Partnership, there are more than 8,000 businesses in advanced manufacturing, offering nearly 300,000 jobs in Detroit. The city is also the number one spot for deployed industrial robots (over 18,000) due to its heavy industrial sector. AI experts can find work programming robots, assembly lines, manufacturing processes, and much more.
Within its K-12 public school systems, Detroit has (according to Learning Mole) over 150,000 students who need high-quality teachers and support systems to master essential life skills. These include 188 new public schools a year and widespread opportunities for continuing education. Advanced training from facilities like the University of Michigan provides the area with 71% graduation rates. All these firms need high-quality artificial intelligence experts who can provide not only educational support but also tools to streamline the learning process.
Detroit’s market is incredibly large, larger than most people probably realize. In fact, according to Advertise in Detroit, retail spending hits around $90 billion a year in the region. To tap into these potential earnings, Motown marketing pros market to customers using digital billboards, online ads, radio advertising, transit signs, and bus wraps. These ads receive anywhere from 40,000 to 17.85 million impressions, putting a heavy strain on the industry. AI professionals can alleviate this problematic process by offering high-quality algorithms to improve tedious work.
According to the Detroit Regional Chamber, the metropolitan area (11 counties that cover over 300 different municipalities) currently has around 530,000 companies, including nine major Fortune 500 firms, 34 educational institutions, and too many small businesses to count. Amazingly, almost every one of them could benefit from AI and machine learning in some way! Furthermore, there are hundreds of specialized groups and industries that not only help develop artificial intelligence but use it daily to improve their overall operations:
