Dear CincyAI Community Member —

Hope you’re surviving the heat wave that’s arrived this summer! ☀️

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.

Our next meetup is Tuesday, July 1 — RSVP for free today!

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

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!

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:

💝 Thank You To:

And most importantly: THANK YOU!

We couldn’t be more excited to have you be part of the largest AI community in the region and for being part of this dynamic community where the whole is not just greater but exponential in its impact. We’re an important node in the AI ecosystem here in Cincinnati, leading the way with Responsible AI.
