Who we are

American Society for Artificial Intelligence (ASFAI) is a private organization that brings together prominent leaders & executives.

Our mission is to create a better world with AI.
We achieve this by bringing together the top minds in AI twice per year in a private, highly curated, and collaborative gathering. These summits foster dialogue-rich discussions in an intimate and off-the-record experience to create positive impact. During our gatherings, leaders connect with other influential leaders and are provided with key knowledge & insights about the future of AI and the world.

Membership is reserved for established leaders and executives, C-Suite and Senior-level, and includes a robust vetting process and with Board approval. Members are of diverse backgrounds and industries; including pioneers in AI, entrepreneurs, technologists, philanthropists, authors, investors, lawyers, policymakers, researchers, computer scientists, engineers, doctors, and professors.

Our organization, a non-profit, exists primarily to host these two special summits each year, which take place at an undisclosed location available only to members. The American Society for AI is a philantropic endeavor.
