TLDR: AI papers, research, and ethics
We’re a community of researchers, engineers, students, and curious minds in Portland who believe machine learning isn’t just about building smarter algorithms—it’s about building a better future. Our group explores both the technical frontiers of machine learning and the ethical questions that come with deploying AI systems in the real world.
What We Do
Research & Study Sessions – Dive into recent ML papers, discuss new models, and share hands-on experiments.
Ethics Roundtables – Explore topics like fairness, bias, transparency, and the societal impacts of AI.
Workshops & Projects – Collaborate on open-source projects, demos, or case studies.
Who Should Join
Anyone with an interest in machine learning and its societal impact:
Researchers and practitioners working on ML or AI.
Students looking to deepen their understanding.
Professionals curious about responsible AI practices.
Ethicists, policy thinkers, and community advocates who want to engage with technologists.
Our Vision
We want Portland to be a hub for ethical, inclusive, and forward-looking AI research. Together, we can push the boundaries of ML while keeping human values, fairness, and long-term wellbeing at the center.
