A chapter of The AI Collective
AI Collective @ UW is the University of Washington chapter of The AI Collective, an international nonprofit student network that helps anyone learn and launch with AI, across every discipline. We belong to its University Program, the network’s program for students.
We share The AI Collective’s name and its mission: AI should be open to every discipline, not only the ones that already write code.
UW students plan and run everything here: Project Cycles, the AI+X Research Program, AIC Hacks and the events in between.
Founded in 2024, we are a registered UW student organization and a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
“True innovation with AI doesn’t happen in a silo, which is why we’re building a community that brings together technical builders and domain experts from every discipline. From our Project Cycle cohorts to our yearly flagship hackathon to our smaller quarterly events, our goal at UW is simple: give people the tools, the mentorship, and the team to build and deploy real, impactful products.”
