🧜‍♀️ AICHR | Humans in AI Week

Join us for Humans in AI Week: Hampton Roads
From June 1–8, 2026, every AI Collective chapter around the world will host simultaneous public events — spanning 200+ cities and 50+ countries — creating the largest coordinated civilian conversation about AI ever organized.
The AI era is being built right now, and the humans behind it matter more than ever.
Humans in AI Week is dedicated to the human layer of AI: trust, creativity, ethics, collaboration, and shared understanding. It explores the space above the tech stack — the part that determines how humanity and technology evolve together.
This is the Hampton Roads edition: a regional gathering designed to bring together students, entrepreneurs, researchers, technologists, creatives, educators, founders, and community leaders to explore how AI is shaping our future locally and globally.
Whether you work directly in AI or are simply curious about where technology is headed, this event is a place to connect, learn, ask questions, and participate in a worldwide conversation happening in real time across the globe.
