Ohio Tech News and OhioX launched Ohio AI25, a new annual honor recognizing 25 companies and organizations turning artificial intelligence into real-world impact across Ohio. The inaugural class, called the Companies & Organizations class, spans startups, enterprises, education, public-sector leaders, investors, and practitioners working across software, advanced manufacturing, robotics, government, workforce, education, and fintech — united by a commitment to practical, responsible AI adoption across the state.
