Why I built this
The AI Power Map grew out of my work in organizational network analysis, organizational behavior, and knowledge strategy.
I initially built it as a way to better understand the AI industry through its people, institutions, and public relationships. After analyzing the data with multiple machine learning methods, I found patterns that would have been valuable to see earlier in my own career. That motivated me to make the project public as an educational resource.
AI is often explained through companies, products, funding rounds, and technical milestones. This project adds another lens: how people, schools, labs, investors, founders, researchers, and operators are connected across the ecosystem.
The same method can be applied to many industries. When public signals are studied together, patterns often become clearer. The important boundary is privacy: this project only uses public information and is designed to support education and industry literacy.
