# AI Northwest

> Seattle's independent AI community bridging technical depth and philosophical inquiry. Events, research, and interdisciplinary discourse for the Pacific Northwest.

## About

AI Northwest is a community organization founded in Seattle in 2024. We operate at the intersection of technical AI practice and philosophical inquiry — a third space between corporate AI and academic research. Independent, intellectually serious, community-owned, interdisciplinary, permanent.
