Massachusetts has long been a place where foundational technology gets built. From biotech to cybersecurity to AI, the Commonwealth doesn’t just adopt innovation – it shapes it. And it does so through people first.

That’s why we’re excited to be part of the newly launched Massachusetts AI Coalition, an incredible initiative led by WHOOP and supported by leaders across industry, startups, investors, and the public sector. The goal is clear: position Massachusetts as a global leader in artificial intelligence while ensuring innovation, economic growth, and job creation happen right here at home.

As Governor Maura Healey put it, “The Massachusetts AI Coalition brings together industry leaders to accelerate innovation, grow our economy, create jobs, and ensure the breakthroughs shaping the future are happening right here in our state.” We couldn’t agree more.

Why This Matters Now

AI is at an inflection point. It’s moving fast. Faster than policy. Faster than traditional hiring models. Faster than legacy security operations were ever designed to scale. But it’s also creating an opportunity for organizations and communities that invest in people, collaboration, and responsible deployment to lead.

The Massachusetts AI Coalition recognizes that leadership in AI isn’t just about research breakthroughs or venture dollars. It’s about collaboration. Between builders and operators. Between startups and public companies. Between innovation and responsibility. It’s people-led, and AI-driven.

For us at 7AI, this hits close to home. We build AI agents that work in real production environments at Fortune 500 scale. And behind our solution is what matters most – the people. AI security engineers working and building alongside our customers, and security leaders and their teams, who use 7AI to transform and scale their security operations, help shape it through feedback, and rely on it every day.SECURITY INNOVATORS DINNER (3)

An Ecosystem Built to Scale

What makes this initiative special is its grounding in Massachusetts itself. This is a state with deep academic roots, a strong startup ecosystem, and operators who know how to scale complex technology.

By bringing together companies like WHOOP and a growing set of builders and investors across the Commonwealth, the coalition creates a shared surface area for learning, talent, and execution. 

As a Boston-founded company, 7AI is proud to contribute to that ecosystem and to help shape what responsible, scalable AI looks like in practice.

What’s Next

This is just the beginning. The Massachusetts AI Coalition will be hosting events, welcoming new members, and creating forums for real collaboration.

If you’re building, deploying, or investing in AI in Massachusetts, this is a community worth paying attention to.
