Artificial intelligence is changing how we work, learn, create, and live, and the future will not be shaped by one company or one voice. It will be shaped by people willing to learn from each other.

As ideas mature within the Commons, some demonstrate exceptional promise. Those ideas move into the second phase of the annual cycle: the Meeting of the Minds. Entrepreneurs, educators, researchers, artists, students, policy makers, and curious citizens are selected for expertise, lived experience, professional perspective, or demonstrated commitment to a particular challenge, and they take up a simple question: how can AI expand human potential and serve the common good? The objective is not to debate whether a problem exists. The objective is to design solutions.

Bring your questions, your ideas, and your work. Your voice stays yours. If others want to learn from your ideas, we encourage them to visit your website, read your research, listen to your podcast, and bring that perspective back to the circle. What you find here reflects our best thinking today — a beginning, not a finish line.

Pull up a chair. The circle is forming. We’d be honored to hear your perspective.

The Working Groups

Groups are organized around specific themes, and new ones emerge as the community identifies new priorities.

Each group functions as a multidisciplinary design studio. Researchers contribute evidence. Entrepreneurs contribute practical experience. Community leaders contribute lived reality. Investors contribute financial insight. Policy experts contribute regulatory perspective. AI systems contribute analysis, synthesis, and scenario planning. Together they produce something none could create independently.

The Deliverables

Every Meeting of the Minds concludes with tangible outputs. Each proposal includes:

By the conclusion of this phase, ideas are no longer conversations. They are investment-ready initiatives, carried forward to the January Summit where the community decides what gets built.
