Ai Salon: Purpose & Meaning
Building careers, creating, child-rearing, shopping, participating in hobbies — these are just a few ways humans currently find meaning and purpose. But as AI reshapes our work, automates tasks and democratizes creativity, how might this change how we find purpose as individuals — and as a species?
Join us for a exploration of the effects on human purpose in a "solved world" — one in which most actions that give us meaning today are facilitated by machines in the future.

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.
Please be advised: Unfortunately, space is very limited at these community events and we can not always accept everyone we would like to. We base acceptances based on levels of interest and passion demonstrated in registration question answers. If you are not accepted to this event, please try and come to another!
