Does University of Georgia allow AI help with college essays?

Permits AI like any other general writing aid; the submitted essay must be your own work

What University of Georgia publishes

“May I use artificial intelligence (AI) to help write my admissions essay? AI tools may be used like any other general writing aid, but the essay submitted must be your own work. The goal is for UGA to learn about you in your own voice.”

UGA answers the question directly in its first-year FAQ: AI tools may be used like any other general writing aid, with the requirement that the submitted essay be the applicant's own work, in their own voice. A general writing aid covers feedback and editing help.
