Ai Salon: The Case For—and Against—AI
AI is accelerating fast—transforming how we work, learn, create, and connect. But as the benefits become more visible, so do the risks. From job displacement to misinformation, bias to power concentration, we're facing complex trade-offs in real time.
In this AI Salon, we’ll explore:
What are the most meaningful benefits of AI, and for whom?
What risks—near-term or long-term—should we be paying more attention to?
Who gets to decide how this technology evolves?
This is an open, community-led discussion—no lectures, just shared reflection. Whether you’re an AI optimist, skeptic, or simply curious, come join a thoughtful group of people exploring where we’re headed—and what kind of future we want to shape.
The Ai Salon is a global 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.
