The Georgia AI Manufacturing (GA-AIM) Coalition, led by the Georgia Tech Research Corporation, will receive $7.768 million under a Project Grant award from the Department of Commerce Economic Development Administration (EDA) Economic Adjustment Assistance program.
The GA-AIM Coalition aims to accelerate the adoption of artificial intelligence technologies across Georgia's legacy industrial sectors by establishing an AI manufacturing pilot facility at Georgia Tech and expanding job training opportunities in AI for underserved communities. The coalition serves as a model for transitioning manufacturing to automation while ensuring systems complement rather than replace existing workers.
Once implemented, the investment is expected to help develop regional industry clusters while embracing economic equity, creating good-paying jobs, and enhancing U.S. competitiveness globally. The Technical College System of Georgia will oversee grant funds and coalition projects on behalf of the State of Georgia.
