Multi-Billion AI Investment from Georgia Tech and Emory University
Two established universities are joining forces to make Atlanta one of the nation's leading artificial intelligence hubs.
Georgia Tech and Emory University are jointly investing a total of over $1 billion in infrastructure, research, and talent development with the goal of making Atlanta a leading U.S. artificial intelligence hub.
Details of the Multi-Billion Joint Investment
Georgia Tech and Emory University are allocating a joint budget of billions of dollars to make Atlanta a leading artificial intelligence hub. Approximately $600 million of this comprehensive commitment is provided by Emory, and over $575 million by Georgia Tech.
Focus Areas of the Universities
While Georgia Tech directs its investments toward advanced computing, artificial intelligence research, and workforce development, Emory University focuses on healthcare applications alongside fields such as medicine, business, law, and ethics.
Advanced Infrastructure and Supercomputers
As part of its infrastructure investments, Georgia Tech is launching advanced computing capacity in Tech Square, a campus-wide computing platform, and a new AI supercomputer named Nexus.
Healthcare and Academic Staff
Emory University has dedicated nearly half of its investments to recruiting expert faculty members in the field of artificial intelligence. While Emory Healthcare utilizes AI in clinical care, the AI.Health institute works on cancer and kidney diseases.
Regional and Community Projects
While both universities collaborate in research, industry partnerships, and technology commercialization, they provide workforce training across the state through the Georgia AIM and AI + You Georgia programs.
