AI in Practice

AI in Practice is a cross-functional community for AI experts and builders alongside the domain professionals they partner with—legal, compliance, finance, healthcare, defense, and public-sector SMEs. We’re here to make real-world AI more effective by connecting the people who build systems with the people who steward outcomes, policy, and risk. Our conversations stay practical and plain-spoken, grounded in measurable impact and responsible use.

We’ll meet regularly through a mix of live discussions and occasional DC gatherings, often co-hosted with peer groups. The focus is simple: build out best practices together and talk candidly about what must be done to make AI successful in these domains—what to align on, what to avoid, and how to move from ideas to results. Sessions are open-minded welcoming; they prioritize learning, honest exchange, and useful takeaways over pitches. If you build, buy, or oversee AI and want to help shape what “AI in practice” looks like in this city, join us, suggest a topic, or raise your hand to co-lead a session.
