The AI Institute for Adult Learning and Online Education (AI-ALOE) is a National Science Foundation–funded research initiative led by Georgia Tech and its partner institutions. Together, these organizations are advancing the role of artificial intelligence (AI) in transforming adult learning and online education. Through cross-institutional collaboration, AI-ALOE designs and deploys AI-driven tools and strategies that enhance teaching, personalize learning experiences, and broaden access to education at scale.

Since its inception, AI-ALOE has created seven pioneering AI technologies that have been implemented in more than 360 classes across multiple universities, reaching over 30,000 learners. Recent studies show that Jill Watson, AI-ALOE’s virtual teaching assistant, outperforms ChatGPT in real classroom settings. To date, AI-ALOE researchers have also published over 160 peer-reviewed papers, contributing significant insights to the growing field of AI-enhanced learning.

AI-ALOE will host a Research Showcase in person at Georgia Tech on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2025, from 1 to 4:30 p.m. in the Walter G. Ehmer Theater (Atlantic) and Rafael Bras Room at the Student Center. This interactive event will bring together researchers, educators, and innovators to explore the latest breakthroughs in AI for learning and education.
