AI Across America (in Georgia)

TODAY:

I attended meetings at SeedAI, with partnering organizations Workday and Georgia Tech, of AI Across America: Atlanta, a forum exploring how AI-powered tools can accelerate skills-based hiring in Georgia, making it a top state for both business and talent. The event brought together key decision makers from Georgia's Fortune 500 employers, state government, higher education institutions, as well as other thought leaders, to contemplate why businesses are turning to skills-based hiring in this new, AI-powered age and what steps need to be taken to ensure that employers have the data and tools they need to connect more Georgians to opportunity. Fascinating perspectives not always heard inside universities, sometimes with too much of an accelerationist tendency. However, we need to hear these conversations to stay connected with what happens outside our (liberal arts) ivy-covered halls.
