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.

Cyber Security Workshops – protect your community one byte at a time
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionizing the manufacturing industry, but with increased connectivity comes heightened cyber risk. These workshops are designed specifically for manufacturing professionals and local officials seeking to harness the power of AI while safeguarding their operations.
We explored the latest threats and vulnerabilities in the workshops and discovered practical strategies to protect critical infrastructure.
Focus Groups
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.
