AI Social Club is a growing community of artists, technologists and researchers exploring the creative and cultural impact of artificial intelligence.

What began as informal gatherings has now grown into a network of talks, workshops and events bringing together creative practitioners, researchers and industry leaders.

Because talking about the future is interesting.

But making things is where it gets real.

To keep the workshop practical and interactive, places are limited to 25 participants.

This allows time for exercises, discussion and support during the day.

Once the workshop is full, no additional tickets will be released.
