Georgia Tech unveils Tech AI to drive real-world AI impact

Georgia Tech has launched Tech AI, a bold initiative dedicated to accelerating AI’s real-world impact across industry and government. The announcement coincides with Tech AI Fest, the Southeast’s premier AI event, bringing together top academics, industry leaders, government figures, and students for three days of collaboration and innovation.

Tech AI bridges cutting-edge research with practical applications, driving advancements in energy, healthcare, transportation, supply chains, and national security. “Through Tech AI, Georgia Tech is redefining the pathway from academic research to tangible societal benefits,” said Pascal Van Hentenryck, director of Tech AI.

Built on four strategic pillars — applied research, industry partnerships, AI engineering, and workforce development — Tech AI fosters responsible, rigorously tested AI technologies, preparing the next generation of AI innovators. The initiative also leverages Georgia Tech’s NSF-funded AI Institutes and Interdisciplinary Research Institutes, positioning the university as a national AI hub.

Happening now at Georgia Tech, Tech AI Fest highlights the initiative’s impact with hands-on demos, research spotlights, and expert panels. Learn more or explore partnership opportunities at tech.ai.gatech.edu.
