01About

A city of builders, shaping AI together.

A Discovery Lab session in Jerusalem

Our mission

To unite Jerusalem's AI community, founders, researchers, operators and investors, in exploring the frontier, and to steer AI's future toward trust, openness and human flourishing.

02Part of something bigger

We are the local heartbeat of The AI Collective, a non-profit, grassroots movement in 128 cities.

Entrepreneurs, researchers, enthusiasts and investors, gathering in person to move past the hype and explore the technical reality and ethical frontier of AI. Through events, workshops and community-led research we make room for real collaboration.

Our vision is a Jerusalem recognised as a global center for AI, where cutting-edge research meets ancient wisdom, and diverse minds build AI that benefits everyone.

03How we work

01

Open by default

Every event is free and every room is open. The future of AI should not be decided by a few, so we keep the door wide.

02

Build, don’t just talk

We prefer laptops to lecterns. Demos, prototypes and honest debate beat another panel about the hype.

03

Many perspectives

Jerusalem holds many communities and languages. Our best conversations happen when all of them are at the table.

04

Responsible frontier

We explore what AI can do and ask what it should do: trust, safety and human flourishing are part of the work.
