What We Do
GAIA has three working directions - Knowledge Sharing, Awareness Raising and Advocacy; Support of Businesses and Startups and Development of Georgian Artificial Intelligence. In all three directions, GAIA cooperates with association members and partners from private and public sector, academia, civil society and media.
In 2025, Georgia first presented a national student team at the International Olympiad in AI. To train a new generation of AI professionals, GAIA offers an Olympiad course to students and holds the National Olympiad to select the team.

Participants have the opportunity to share experiences and network at monthly meetings. Two types of meetings are held each month - one for AI professionals on technical topics and one for a wider audience on various AI-related issues.
