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 are 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.
