Georgia State University
GA · AI Readiness #159 of 227
AIREDEX™ Score: 5.9 /10
Georgia State built its own AI tutoring platform from scratch, deploying the TEACH ME chatbot across undergraduate English and math courses with $7.6 million in federal backing and documented impact on more than 2,100 students in 2024-25.
Panthers also have access to the ARCTIC high-performance computing cluster, funded by a $1.2 million NSF grant, which gives students 1.2 million GPU hours annually. The CHAI Center, led by Jonathan Shihao Ji with $10 million in DoD funding, anchors the university's research presence through partnerships with Duke and the U.S. Army Research Laboratory. Robinson College of Business has added more than ten new AI courses at the undergraduate level. What's still missing is a standalone undergraduate AI major or minor; for now, AI reaches students through individual courses and pilot programs rather than a dedicated credential.
