On a recent February afternoon, college and graduate students break out into groups of four inside Coca-Cola Roxy at The Battery.

This is part of a services hackathon sponsored by The Quantum Leap Summit and N2N, a Duluth-based tech company that is working to shape the future of Georgia’s artificial intelligence workforce by emphasizing ethics in innovation.

Each of the four groups has a different name, but the same goal: to build a tool or platform that demonstrates the ethical use of artificial intelligence.
