Morehouse AI in Action

We highlight the work of colleagues across Morehouse College who are finding practical, meaningful ways to use emerging tools in their teaching, research, and daily work. Each project reflects a thoughtful approach to improving how we learn, work, and serve our community. Together, they represent the creativity, care, and purpose that define the Morehouse experience.

Morehouse has received a prestigious grant from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to participate in a $457 million project to build one of the most powerful academic supercomputers in the southeast. This historic investment in higher education cyberinfrastructure will elevate Morehouse’s ability to provide unprecedented access to world-class computational resources for its students, faculty, and HBCUs nationwide. The Morehouse Center for Broadening Participation in Computing, led by Executive Director Dr. Kinnis Gosha, has received $5 million of the NSF grant to start construction on a site that will house the cutting-edge supercomputer, Horizon, part of the NSF’s Leadership-Class Computing Facility (LCCF). The supercomputer will push the boundaries of artificial intelligence, providing greater access to areas such as climate modeling, machine learning, and biomedical research.

“Developing a County-Level Measure of Data Center Activity for the Drawdown Georgia Solutions Tracker” from the Ray C. Anderson Foundation. As part of Drawdown Georgia's Phase 5 Solutions Tracker, Dr. Ashley N. Scruse is leading the development of a county-level measure that maps data center proposals, construction, and operations across all 159 Georgia counties, alongside indicators of community support and concerns. The work combines web scraping, public records analysis, and a reproducible Python pipeline so the measure can be updated as new data becomes available, supporting comparative county-level analysis within the Solutions Tracker.
