Dear CincyAI Community Member —

Hope you had a wonderful weekend — it’s hard to believe that the year is already almost half over and that tomorrow is July 1, but it is!

That also means that our July CincyAI for Humans meeting is tomorrow. 🎉

Also, our August 5 meetup registrations are open, so grab your seat for free!

A few other quick reminders:

• For those who are interested in $100K for your A.I. use case, don’t miss the opportunity to apply to The Circuit’s Proving Ground program!

• For those interested in the nonprofit hackathon, mark your calendars for September 6 — we’ll be doing the hackathon in partnership with MidwestCon at the 1819 Innovation Hub. Stay tuned for more details!

• Please take a minute to vote for John Cavanaugh as a Champion 'Data Privacy Hero' on this form so he receives the much-deserved recognition!

You know the drill: we meet from 3-5pm in room 140 at the UC Digital Futures building located at 3080 Exploration Ave, Cincinnati, OH 45206.

As a reminder, the first 15 meetup registrants who also sign up for it on Eventbrite can get a tour of UC’s Digital Futures! These are on a first-come, first-served basis and are an excellent opportunity to learn about all of the amazing labs and research that’s taking place in the building. Each tour will start at 2:30pm and is led by the wonderful Kyle Maycock. These will be taking place before every meeting in 2025!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for June’s CincyAI for Humans! Here are the photos (please tag us and #CincyAI) and check out our LinkedIn page for videos of speakers.

We’re so proud to be part of the Responsible AI movement here in Cincinnati, especially with Dr. Kelly Cohen as our organizing partner who helps make CincyAI for Humans possible. He’s a global leader on Responsible AI, and this is his recent TEDx talk on it that’s a must-watch:
