Dear CincyAI Community Member —

Halloween is this Friday, which means that next Tuesday is our November 4th CincyAI for Humans meetup, and we can’t wait to see you there! The meeting is sold out, so if you’re plans have changed, please update your RSVP on Eventbrite.

Clothing Donations — During our November and December meetings, we’ll be collecting donations to help support unhoused individuals and families. If you’d like to participate, please bring new or clean and gently used socks, gloves, coats, scarves, hats, and blankets. We’ll collect these items at the sign-in area.

State of AI Survey — Our “State of AI for Greater Cincinnati and NKY” is back and we need your help! Please fill out this quick survey (less than 4 minutes) and let us know your thoughts on AI use cases, adoption, opportunities, and challenges in our community (your answers will be anonymous). The report will be available by Q1 2026 to participants. Deadline for responses is December 30, 2025 — contribute your answers today!

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 our latest CincyAI for Humans! Here are the photos (please tag us and #CincyAI) and check out our LinkedIn page for videos of speakers.
