LGBTQ+ × Artificial Intelligence

The future of AI is built out in the open.

Out in AI is a global community of LGBTQ+ folks and allies who work alongside artificial intelligence in any industry, any role, and at any level. From technologists, founders, researchers, and allies shaping how artificial intelligence gets designed, deployed, and governed, we gather, we ship, and we make sure the next era of computing reflects all of us.

What we do

A community, a network, and a way to build together.

Three things we focus on. Everything we do ladders up to one of them.

01

Gather

Meetups, panels, and hack nights across cities like San Francisco, Denver, NYC, and Austin—plus virtual events for members anywhere. Public talks, private dinners, and everything in between.

02

Connect

A trusted network of LGBTQ+ professionals and allies working with AI. Real intros, real referrals, and a community where the hard questions actually get answered.

03

Build

We ship together. Co-hosted events, collaborative projects, and a growing body of work on how AI affects queer communities, from dataset bias to identity-aware design.

The Out in AI Build Lab

Turn AI skills into real nonprofit impact.

Our volunteer build program pairs LGBTQ+ technologists, vibe coders, and mentors with LGBTQ+ nonprofits and community organizations working on real challenges — shared ideas, built together.
