Get ready, Southeast Alabama! Troy University is planting its flag firmly in the world of artificial intelligence, and they're not just talking the talk. They're building the future right now, for students and business bigwigs alike. Troy's new Center for Artificial Intelligence Research and Education is ready to rock. Located within the Sorrell College of Business, it's taking a "business-first" approach to all things AI. They're hooking up pros, execs, and organizations with the skills to spot AI opportunities, use machine learning like bosses, and navigate the AI takeover like total pros. Economic development gurus from 11 Southeast Alabama counties recently invaded the AI center to see how this tech could pump up business operations and boost regional competition.
