​Trust & Build with AI for Queer Good

​AI is everywhere now — but for many of us, it still feels confusing, intimidating, overhyped, or simply not made with people like us in mind.

​

​Queer Eyes for AI is a casual, community-first session for queers and allies who want to understand AI better, trust it more thoughtfully, and explore what it means to build with it.

​

​No technical background required. You do not need to code. You do not need to work in tech. You just need to be curious.

​

​This is not a typical AI event. It is a sharing session, fireside chat, Q&A, and networking night hosted in a queer bar, bringing together queer builders, AI enthusiasts, AI-curious folks, creatives, founders, and allies.

​

​Who this is for

​

​This event is for you if:

• ​You are queer or an ally and curious about AI.

• ​You want to use AI but are unsure what to trust.

• ​You have an idea, project, creative practice, business, community initiative, or side hustle and want to know how AI might help.

• ​You are interested in what queer builders are making with AI.

• ​You want to meet other AI-curious people in a more relaxed, social, less intimidating space.

• ​No technical background is required.

​What we’ll talk about

​

​We’ll keep the session accessible, practical, and human.

​

​Together, we’ll explore:

• ​Why and how you can trust AI
  What does “trusting AI” actually mean? How do we use AI without falling for hype, misinformation, or lazy automation?

• ​What queer builders are building with AI
  From community tools to creative products, we’ll look at how queer people are using AI to build things that are personal, useful, strange, joyful, and necessary.

• ​How queer builders juggle identity, work, creativity, and risk
  How do we build publicly when our identities are complicated? How do we navigate visibility, safety, ambition, and community responsibility?

• ​How to start building, even if you’re not technical
  AI has made it easier to prototype ideas, test concepts, and create tools without needing to be a traditional engineer.

​Featured builders

​

​Azfar Anwar
Founder of queerimam.ai, an AI platform built for queer Muslims navigating faith, identity, safety, and belonging. Azfar works at the intersection of AI, trust and safety, policy, community, and implementation. He will share how he built queerimam.ai, what “trust by design” means in practice, and why queer communities should not be left out of the AI conversation.

​Donald Piret
A software engineer at Stripe and AI-native builder who has been experimenting with creative AI tools, including a vibe-coded DJ product. Donald will share what it means to build playfully and practically with AI, and how AI can help queer builders move from idea to prototype faster.
