​What Are We Really Building AI For?

​Value, ROI, responsibility—and the conversations we don’t usually have in public.

​This invitation-only dinner brings together a small group of people who work with AI in different ways and enjoy thoughtful, honest conversations about what is actually worth building.

​This is not a networking event, a panel, or a pitch night.
It’s a relaxed, curated dinner with good food, open minds, and space to think out loud together.

​A few themes will be on the table, but the conversation is free-flowing. The goal is not to agree, but to explore, learn from each other, and enjoy the evening.

​Some things we might explore

• ​Where AI is creating real, lasting value—and where it’s mostly optics

• ​Which uses of AI genuinely deliver ROI, and which quietly drain time or budget

• ​When “AI-first” makes sense—and when it doesn’t

• ​What gets traded away in the name of speed, scale, or growth

• ​The doubts and questions about AI adoption we rarely say out loud

• ​How value, responsibility, and regulation meet in real life

• ​A grounding question for everyone at the table:
  If your AI product disappeared tomorrow, who would feel the loss—and how?

​How the dinner works

• ​Invitation only

• ​10 participants

• ​One shared table

• ​No panels, no slides, no pitches

• ​Off the record: no quotes, no social media, no posturing

• ​Different perspectives, shared respect for thoughtful conversation

• ​Dinner cost is covered individually by each participant

​This dinner isn’t about being pro or anti AI.
It’s about thinking clearly together, learning from one another, and enjoying a kind of conversation that rarely fits into everyday work.

​Come curious.
Come open.
Leave with better questions—and hopefully a very good evening in Paris.
