What we’re about
The AI Salon is a collaborative group of creatively-minded people and we welcome anyone curious about the tsunami of inspiring generative technologies already rocking our our world. See Community Links & Resources including our Mighty Networks Community.
We are dedicated to exploring Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, and Generative creation technologies in the pursuit of super-charged creative expression. AI-generated creative tools such as GPTs, OpenAI, Stable Diffusion, MidJourney, Dall-e, and the myriad other tools emerging daily are on the verge of transforming the creative arts in unimaginable ways.
Rather than be at the mercy of the coming changes, the Salon is about educating ourselves, leveraging the technology for our creative endeavors, and sharing our work, projects, and what we've learned along the way.
