Ai Salon & SF Intellectuals
Join us for a special event where the Ai Salon joins with the SF Intellectuals for vibrant discussions! This will be a broad and accessible event where anyone who is interested in what AI means for our future is welcome!
AI isn't just a technical topic! Instead, it is a technically-coded mirror to reflect how humanity is advancing. Grappling with it is grappling with our human journey and draws on philosophy, history, sociology, and yes, scientific and technological perspectives. Thinking about AI sharpens conversations around humanity's power, our progress, and our direction by giving focus to what is otherwise vague musings.
Event format: We'll put everyone into small groups with a topic to discuss (related to AI's impact on our lives). Then we'll shuffle up the groups and topics throughout the night.
If you arrive late, look for Ann or Ian. One of us will catch you up on the discussion topic and put you in a group.
Can't wait to see you there!
The Ai Salon is a community founded in San Francisco focused on intimate, small-sized group discussions on the sociological, economic, cultural, and philosophical impacts and meaning of AI developments. We host small group discussions, all of which you can find on our calendar. You can find summaries of our previous conversations on our substack.
SF Intellectuals is a discussion group dedicated to earnest inquiry and thoughtful exploration on subjects related to philosophy, culture, and technology. Past discussions have explored questions like: Is loneliness one of the biggest problems facing society? What does "freedom" imply, and are we ever truly "free"? Is marriage even a necessary institution in our society? See our other events on Meetup!
