“It takes a village to do AI well, it takes an infrastructure, it takes a data center, and it takes experts. And, I think in that regard, having Georgia Tech, NVIDIA, and Penguin—that’s what it takes.”
– Matthieu Bloch, Associate Dean of Academic Affairs

case study
Today's undergraduate and graduate students will soon join a workforce reshaped, in every way, by artificial intelligence (AI). The World Economic Forum estimates 97 million AI jobs will be created by 2025. While students need rigorous, hands-on AI training to thrive in an increasingly AI-driven professional landscape and world, the tools and technology underpinning this real-world experience have been largely out of reach. Advanced AI technologies are typically so complex and expensive that only large corporations can afford to provide access, creating a major barrier to developing and preparing the next generation of AI-ready talent.
Georgia Institute of Technology, Penguin Solutions, and NVIDIA are working together to overcome this significant challenge by giving students access to real-world AI experience. This first-of-its-kind initiative serves as a sandbox, providing students with hands-on access to cutting-edge AI tools and technologies, allowing them to explore and understand emerging AI models through practical experience.
Watch video to learn how the AI Makerspace expands on Georgia Tech’s foundational, theory-focused AI curriculum by offering students a hands-on platform to tackle real-world AI challenges, develop advanced applications, and present their AI-driven ideas at scale.
