About SHAI

The Seattle Human-AI Collective.

Create a space where people explore AI together — honestly, critically, and with genuine curiosity.

Not hype, not fear, but real understanding built through conversation, experimentation, and community. The more diverse the voices, the better the outcomes.

How It Works
01

We meet every two weeks at venues around Seattle.

02

Each session has a focused topic — chosen by the community.

03

No presentations. Real conversations. Everyone contributes.

04

We build things together between meetups.

What We Believe

Open & Inclusive

An engineer, a designer, and a philosopher rarely agree — and that's the point.

Curiosity-Driven

From transformer architectures to Camus, from WCAG compliance to the nature of consciousness.

Human-Centered

Accessibility isn't an afterthought — it's foundational. Technology should serve people.

Action-Oriented

We don't just talk about AI — we build, experiment, and create.

Come build the future with us

Whether you're an AI expert or just getting started, there's a seat at the table.
