Exploring the Role of AI in Economic Development
Troy University is making strides in artificial intelligence education and application. Recently, members of Grow Southeast Alabama convened at the university to discover how they can leverage AI for community growth. The university’s Center for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education is at the forefront of this initiative, aiming to equip local economic developers with valuable knowledge.
During the visit, participants learned about the AI Forward Initiative, a program designed to explore innovative applications of artificial intelligence. This initiative not only focuses on research but also seeks to demonstrate practical uses of AI that can benefit local communities. By harnessing AI technology, economic developers can enhance their strategic planning and decision-making processes to foster growth and sustainability.
