G2RT Project – Media Interview and News

I have been part of this groundbreaking global collaborative innovation technology here at Georgia Tech and primarily supported by Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The media team has made it public and I’d want you to be the very first ones to see them and hopefully add them to our CEE Department website for much more impact. Help me spread the word!

The National AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education (AI-ALOE) was launched on November 1, 2021, as one of the first 18 AI research institutes funded and supported by the National Science Foundation. The Institute aims to lead the development of novel AI theories and techniques for enhancing and transforming online learning for adult learners in effectiveness, efficiency, access, scale, and personalization. It has been an extraordinary year for the institute as it has grown into an exceptional community of scholars, researchers, and partners working on a wide range of projects across the fields of AI and education.

Please join us to celebrate as we reflect on the past, present, and future impacts of using artificial intelligence in education. We welcome you to join the discussion, whether you are a researcher, educator, student, or just interested in learning more about AI-ALOE and AI in education.
