AI First Principles

AI First Principles is an open source project maintained by 40+ contributors building AI systems in production. These 12 principles emerged from watching what breaks, fixing it, and codifying what survives.

The meetup network helps practitioners level up through guided discussions and curated learning experiences. Each meeting works through specific principles or analyzes case studies from members. We share what worked, what failed, what we're figuring out.

This is community-maintained, not vendor-backed. No certifications or consulting upsells.
