About the McCoy AI Labs watch list
McCoy's AI labs watch list is a curated set of AI research labs and applied-AI companies worth tracking for hiring signal. It's a superset of the Forbes AI 50 — it includes labs Forbes dropped as newer entrants displaced them, labs that never made the Forbes cut (xAI, Adept, Pinecone), and labs currently raising into notable private status. We add labs when their hiring pattern or research output makes them worth watching, and we're transparent about that curation.
If you want the strictly editorial list, see /forbes-ai-50. If you want everyone we track — Forbes AI 50 plus the watch list, unioned — see /ai. Data on this page comes from each lab's official ATS; see our methodology for the full source list.
