About Miami AI Club
Miami AI Club (MAIC) is a private, invitation-only community for operators, researchers, investors, educators, and policy leaders who are actively shaping how AI is built and deployed. Our focus is simple: elevate the conversations that matter and translate intelligence into real-world outcomes.
We avoid hype. We prioritize clarity. And we bring together people who understand that responsible AI requires serious thinking, cross-sector collaboration, and a long-view approach.
Why We Lead
Flagship Programs
MAIC convenes high-signal rooms designed for decision-makers. Our HealthRush series accelerates practical adoption in healthcare, while the AGI Series brings global institutions together to explore safety, governance, and long-term AI implications.
Cross-Sector Collaboration
We connect institutions that rarely intersect—universities, school systems, healthcare networks, not-for-profits, and international councils. This alignment ensures AI is developed with integrity, oversight, and positive societal impact.
Global Perspective
Miami is an emerging global AI hub. Our work extends to partners across Africa, the Middle East, Europe, and Latin America, creating a bridge between Miami's innovation ecosystem and global insight.
What Sets Us Apart
At MAIC, we create intimate settings where trust and transparency enable breakthrough conversations. Our private dinners and working sessions bring together carefully selected leaders to tackle AI's most pressing challenges.
Selective, High-Trust Membership
Every member is invited based on expertise, clarity of mission, and demonstrated impact. Small rooms. High trust. Serious work.
Action Over Noise
Our gatherings are not conferences. They are working sessions built around shared intelligence, problem-solving, and creating outcomes that extend beyond the room.
Responsible by Design
MAIC approaches AI with a commitment to long-term societal benefit. Ethics, safety, transparency, and human context guide every conversation.
Our Philosophy
We see AI as an extension of human capability. Effective progress comes from interdisciplinary collaboration, diverse perspectives, and an alignment toward responsible outcomes.
MAIC exists to create the conditions where this kind of intelligence—collective, thoughtful, rigorous—can thrive.
Our Community
Our members are founders, operators, investors, researchers, educators, policy leaders, and practitioners who understand that AI's trajectory cannot be left to chance. It must be shaped deliberately, responsibly, and collaboratively.
