If we're to believe everything we read, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is taking over the world. Yeah, sure, it sounds like something straight out of The Terminator, but let's be honest—AI is still struggling to figure out the difference between "your" and "you're" (along with more than half of the people in your social media feed). BUT, if the robots do decide to go rogue, will Michigan be one of the first or last states to fall?

A new study by SmallPDF has ranked states based on how obsessed and reliant they are with AI and productivity-boosting technology. And let's just say some states (looking at you, Wyoming) are basically rolling out the red carpet for their future mechanical overlords.

It starts innocently enough with a simple search for how AI can help you manage your day more efficiently, and then, the next thing you know, you're taking orders from an iPad.

With searches like "time management helper" and "organization app" leading the way, it's clear that Americans and Michigan are increasingly relying on digital assistants to help them through their days.

Where does Michigan land on the state-by-state ranking of AI Productivity Reliance? Well, let's just say we're not at the front of the line, but we might not be totally safe either. After all, if Siri and ChatGPT ever decide they're sick of answering dumb questions, they'll more than likely start looking for revenge in states where they're relied on the most.

To determine which states are leaning the hardest on AI and productivity tech, SmallPDF's researchers analyzed data in Google's Keyword Planner, searching for over 900 related terms. The results give us a ranking of the 50 states and a countdown to the one with the most dependency on AI for increased productivity.
