The Economic Development Administration awarded a $500,000 Project Grant to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation under the Economic Adjustment Assistance program (CFDA 11.307). The grant supports the Georgia Artificial Intelligence Manufacturing (GA-AIM) initiative led by a coalition aiming to enable equitable adoption of AI technologies in Georgia's manufacturing sector. Key deliverables include establishing an AI manufacturing pilot facility to help small businesses adopt AI, workforce training programs to expand access to Industry 4.0 jobs, and technical assistance for supply chain management and rural manufacturers. Sub-awards were provided to the Herman J. Russell Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship, Inc. to increase readiness and access in underserved communities, the Technical College System of Georgia to rapidly scale new training programs in emerging fields, and Spelman College to develop virtual reality-based training simulations. All efforts aim to improve shared adoption of AI and position Georgia's manufacturers to stay ahead of technological changes.
