Keep going with AI governance

You've checked one AI use. Here's where the AiGovOps Foundation, a nonprofit, can help with the next one: a monthly newsletter, a monthly meeting in Seattle and online, membership, and introductions to people who do this for a living.

Four ways to keep going

Free · monthly

Read the newsletter

One story a month about an AI system that went wrong, and the control that would have caught it. Plus what's coming up.

Free · monthly

Come to a meeting

In person at AI House in Seattle and streamed online. Short talks from practitioners, then time for your questions.

From $12 a year

Become a member

Members get recordings of the monthly meeting, early newsletter drafts and the case-study library. Free if $12 is a barrier.

Free · by email

Ask for an introduction

Need governance tooling, an AI lawyer or an insurance view? Tell Bob and Ken what you're working on and they'll introduce you to someone from our meetings.
