AI Tennessee, led by the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, is a statewide initiative launched three years ago to position Tennessee as a leader in artificial intelligence. It grew from state leaders’ recognition that AI would be a driving force in economic growth. The initiative brings together universities, industry, and communities to develop real-world AI solutions, expand education and training, and prepare Tennessee’s workforce for the AI-driven economy.
TEAM TN will continue as a standing network supporting innovation and workforce initiatives across multiple sectors — from advanced mobility to artificial intelligence and beyond.
“TEAM TN will live on,” said Gibson. “It represents our coalition of leaders, thinkers, and doers ready to drive innovation across every sector. Together, through AI Tennessee and whatever comes next, we’ll ensure Tennessee’s place as a global leader in innovation. I invite all TEAM TN partners to engage with AI Tennessee and work together to harness one of the most transformative forces shaping our economy.”
