Founded in 2020, our mission is to not only make you smarter regarding AI, but to raise awareness to how it's positively and negatively impacting society.
The advancement in AI and modern technology has been great - but it's not been without its unintended consequences, including the exacerbation of the social bases that exist today, and have existed in the past.
We believe that those most affected by AI should strive to learn the most, and ultimately, have the loudest voice. Joining this community puts you in the right place to learn what you need to learn and stay engaged as the world becomes more automated.

We run fun, engaging programs that promote discussion, action, and engagement with the intersection of technology and social issues.
Joining RAISO is as easy as joining our slack community, where you'll get easy access to the management team and other members. To join our management team, either reach out to us directly, or keep an eye out for one of our recruiting events!
That's great! All partnership or sponsorship inquiries can be sent via our contact form. We usually respond within a day.
Sign up for announcements for all of our events, and join our slack community! If you want to reach us directly, hit up our contact form.
Nope! Actually, part of our mission is to make our programs accessible to everyone, no matter your technical background (although we do like to get technical from time to time).
Previously, all events and day-to-day activities were virtual. Now, with the exception of most speaker events, we're moving to a hybrid model, where all of our meetups and workshops are indoors and masked.
Becoming a member is as easy as coming to one of our events, signing up for our newsletter or joining our slack channel! If you're interested in managing any of our events, you'll need to keep an eye out for the application, which makes its rounds at the start of every quarter (sign up do you don't miss out!).
