​From June 1 to 8, 2026, every AI Collective chapter in the world is hosting simultaneous public events — 200+ cities, 50+ countries, one week, the same conversation. It's the largest coordinated civilian conversation about AI ever organized.

​The AI era is being built right now and the humans behind it matter more than ever. Humans in AI Week is dedicated to the human layer of AI: trust, coordination, and shared understanding. The missing layer above the tech stack that lets humanity and technology advance in harmony.

​This is the Detroit edition, your chance to connect with the people shaping AI as part of a global moment happening in real time across the world.

​What to expect:

  • ​Food, drinks, and an open, welcoming atmosphere
  • ​Conversations with builders, researchers, founders, and the AI-curious across Detroit
  • A chance to meet your local AI Collective community and join a worldwide conversation about where AI is going and who it's for
