Ready, Set...Georgia AIM! Planning for Artificial Intelligence

Tuesday, April 28, 2026
10:15 AM - 11:00 AM CT
Location: HPCC, Room 251A-C
CM: .75
Georgia Tech's Georgia AIM initiative is leading the state's charge to harness potential uses of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for manufacturing, with a focus on education, workforce development, and community growth. This presentation explores how AI is reshaping communities and planners' critical role in this transformation.

Georgia Tech's Center for Economic Development Research (CEDR) is spearheading AI strategic plans in rural and economically distressed regions and developing pilot projects and learning exchanges. Presenters focus on the development and implementation of pilot projects, such as "AI 101 for Local Officials," infrastructure assessments, and strategic plans and learning exchanges in concert with regional commissions. Leave with a better understanding of how to support AI's use in addressing challenges related to infrastructure, workforce, governance, and education. Learn from CEDR's case studies and develop a roadmap for replicating Georgia AIM's success in your community.
