Humans in AI Week: The SF Gathering

This is our moment  to come together, in cities across the world, and assert what it means to be human in the age of intelligence. Humans in AI Week is a global simultaneous event series happening across 100+ cities from June 1st to 8th, 2026. Every chapter of The AI Collective is hosting a local gathering during the same week: panels, roundtables, and open conversations about where AI is taking us, and how we shape that future together. About the SF Chapter event Humans in AI Week is one week, on every continent, where people stop being spectators and start being participants. The SF Chapter gathers technologists, policymakers, and community members to ask the questions that matter and to listen. Join us for an evening of honest conversation, genuine connection, and the kind of perspective that only comes from being in the room. Food, drink, and great company are all provided.
