Welcome!

This is meant to serve as your home base for all AI community discussions being run in October and beyond. Below, you’ll find links that lead you to further information regarding resources, documents, and everything in between.

You don’t need to know all the answers about AI. You just need to know your community and make space for meaningful discussion.
