The Human Side of AI
We are The AI Collective's Baltimore chapter. This is our first Networking Night.
The idea is simple: this city is full of people thinking about AI who have never met each other. The teacher planning lessons with it, the data scientist making sense of LLMs, the founder betting a company on it, the artist deciding whether it is a tool or a threat, the student wondering if this is their field now, and plenty who think it is mostly noise and are happy to say so. This is the room where you finally meet.✨
The interesting part was never the AI Companies. It is the people working with them. Most of that noise has been happening in DC. It's Charm City's turn now.
Open networking. Two hours, no panel, no pitch, no agenda. You walk up to someone and start.
Focus: The humans behind AI in Baltimore: Building it, Using it and Arguing about it.
Takeaway: Walk out with real contacts in Baltimore AI: the builders, the hirers, the ones worth learning from. No business card pile, just people you will message tomorrow.
Who this is for
🛠️ Builders: LLMs to plain old machine learning
🧑💻 Users: Anyone whose day job it has started to touch
🎓 Students: Morgan State, University of Baltimore, Hopkins, UMBC, Towson, MICA, anywhere
🤷 Sceptics and the Curious: Come see what the fuss is about
Come when you can, leave when you like
Doors at six, done by eight, nothing scheduled in between. If you aren't someone who can walk up to strangers? Find Khalif or Snehalraj and we will get you started.

Your Hosts
Khalif Cooper founded Soulhause and runs Baltimore Tech Week, another awesome event to be at.

We started this chapter because the good AI rooms were always an hour's drive south.
Just show up!!!
San Francisco 🌉 has these nights, New York 🗽 has them, and you already know about DC 🏛️
As of 15 September, so does Baltimore 🦀
The room only holds so many, so we go through registrations as they come in. If this one fills before you get a spot, do keep an eye out, we will be running these regularly.
