AI Circle Community Happy Hour | Hiring & Human Data Panel Discussion
Behind the Data: Hiring at the Frontier
AI Circle is bringing together our New York community for an evening on one of the most complex layers behind modern AI: the people, expertise, and human data required to build it.
Join us for an invite-only happy hour and panel with researchers, founders, operators, and technical leaders working across the AI ecosystem.
We'll dig into how leading teams are hiring specialized AI talent, building human-data operations, and identifying the right expertise for increasingly complex model work...and what actually separates a great human-data partner from a transactional vendor.
As models and agentic systems grow more capable, the quality of the people behind training, evaluation, post-training, and deployment matters more than ever. Expect candid ground: what teams are learning in practice, what they're getting wrong, and what the people who've been through these processes wish they'd known going in.
Following the panel, drinks, light bites, and time with the broader AI Circle NYC community.

Moderated by Albert Chun, Founder of AI Circle.
