Register today for our AI-101 for Local Officials Workshops!

Artificial intelligence is rapidly transforming our world, from streamlining businesses and enhancing education to revolutionizing transportation and logistics. Recognizing the profound impact of AI, Georgia Tech, in partnership with the Georgia Academy for Economic Development, is hosting a one-day deep dive workshop, “AI for Local Officials,” to equip the state for this new era. The Georgia AIM project, a statewide initiative funded by a 2022 EDA Build Back Better award, is at the forefront of integrating AI into manufacturing. Through partnerships in education, workforce development, and economic growth, the project aims to create a model for AI implementation. This workshop will delve into the broader community implications of AI and empower local leaders to support this technological shift. Registration includes all course materials and meals for the day.

Past Events

We hosted focus groups across the state to collaborate on creating regionally specific AI strategies.

Attending the focus group gave stakeholders valuable insights into addressing critical areas that AI will affect, like workforce development, K-12 education, and infrastructure investments. Participants contributed to shaping regional strategies that align AI advancements with educational initiatives, skill development, and infrastructure needs, ensuring a prepared and adaptable workforce for the future of manufacturing. Additionally, the focus group offered exploration and collaboration opportunities to support industry growth and competitiveness in regions across the state. Participants asked questions, talked with industry experts, and engaged directly with the technology shaping the future of manufacturing.

I think it was a beneficial forum to build relationships, guide conversations, and achieve successful AI adoption.
