AI + You GeorgiaAbout
Background
Emory University’s Center for AI Learning, in partnership with Rowen Foundation and the Georgia Chamber of Commerce, will embark on a statewide tour this summer titled “AI + You: Save Time, Earn More and Thrive with AI.”
The educational initiative, which brings free short courses to local communities, seeks to demystify artificial intelligence, empower Georgians with the skills and confidence to keep pace with the evolving workforce technologies, and will kick off a statewide workforce training program in AI.
With the rapid rise of artificial intelligence in all sectors of the economy and social life, this program is designed to ensure that every Georgia community member has the opportunity to embrace the potential of AI and quickly learn how to use it.
