Roundtables

Hear what is really happening in AI, right now, from the people closest to it.

‍

How the Roundtables are designed

  • Each Roundtable convenes the organizations closest to the work. We bring together the AI Ecosystem Organizations focused on improving a specific area of AI, drawn from our living map of the ecosystem. The people shaping the solutions are the ones already doing the work.
  • The format is a working session, not a panel. Each conversation digs into one area's real challenges: what each organization is seeing, what is true and what is hype, and what could move things forward. Small on purpose, so the conversation can go deep. Sometimes it ends in a decision to work together.
  • Watching is one of the fastest ways to stay current on AI. Each session captures what is really happening right now in a key area of AI, straight from the organizations closest to it, and what you can do about it.
