About Wired West

Illuminating Utah’s Role in America’s AI Future

Wired West is a digital platform dedicated to exploring the power, policy, and infrastructure driving the AI revolution—and Utah’s pivotal role in shaping it.

From the wind-swept plains of Millard County to the data corridors of the Wasatch Front, Utah is building the backbone of America’s AI economy. We go beyond surface-level discussions of AI tools to share the deeper story: the energy grids, data centers, policies, and people making this transformation possible.

Our work focuses on three pillars:

• Energy & Infrastructure – How Utah generates and delivers the high-demand power fueling AI systems.
• Policy & Leadership – The legislators, industry leaders, and community voices shaping the state’s AI strategy.
• Opportunity & Impact – How AI growth is creating jobs, investment, and innovation across Utah.

Whether you’re a policymaker, business leader, student, or curious citizen, Wired West connects the dots between local developments and the global AI race. We believe Utah’s leadership in this moment matters—not just for our state, but for America’s place on the world stage.

Our Mission:

To inform, engage, and inspire Utahns with clear, fact-driven storytelling that reveals both the challenges and opportunities in building the future of AI from the grid up.

Our Perspective:

Optimistic, evidence-based, and community-focused. We celebrate innovation while exploring the big questions about sustainability, equity, and long-term competitiveness.
