Summary

On December 18, 2023, New Jersey Governor Phil Murphy alongside Princeton University President Christopher Eisgruber announced plans to create a state AI hub. The objective of this initiative is to raise the state’s current position in the field of AI. The New Jersey Economic Development Authority has partnered with the university to help advance the state’s AI capabilities and stimulate economic growth. The proposed AI hub would unite researchers, industry leaders, start-ups, and other stakeholders as they research and develop ethical ways to use AI and implement them in workforce development.

On January 9, 2024, Governor Murphy announced in his sixth State of the State address the launch of an “AI Moonshot,” which aims to “to galvanize New Jersey’s innovators and industry leaders to unleash a new generation of AI-powered discoveries and create economic opportunities for New Jersey’s workers and families.”
