We facilitate community-led research projects, host events, and make publicly accessible resources to democratize AI literacy, foster critical discourse, and prototype new ways of being in relation to AI and technology.

MINI DOCUMENTARY
In 2023, we invited Steven Elbers to create an aftermovie of our IRL <STORY&CODE> screening at MACA. The resulting video came together as a 3-min mini-documentary and visual introduction to the work, story & faces of AIxDESIGN 🎥 Enjoy!

Back in 2018, there were designers & artists spread around the world - running code snippets, experimenting with AI, questioning algorithmic affordances, not knowing there were others like them. When Nadia Piet launched the AI meets Design toolkit, it served as signal to the community, which evolved in the years that followed.
Over the past 5 years, we have grown from a Slack group to a self-organised global community of 8,000+ computationally-curious people. Today, we remain independent, working in the open, dedicated to conducting critical AI design research for people (not for profit). In addition, we’ve launched a For Hire lab branch to take on client work and collaborative projects.
