The AI Survival Club is a guided book club and community for people who want to understand AI with a critical lens, not the tech-bro hype.

Each month, members read one carefully curated book on AI, ethics, surveillance, power, or technology and meet twice for live keynotes led by Catharina Doria, an AI ethicist named one of the 100 Most Brilliant Women in Ethical AI™. She breaks down the biggest ideas, connects them to current AI news, and helps members understand what actually matters and what's hype. Throughout the year, the club also hosts special live Q&As with the authors of the books we read, including Parmy Olson (Supremacy) and Carissa Véliz (Prophecy).

The AI Survival Club is a space for 400+ critical thinkers across 25+ countries to read together, debate, and build real AI literacy, with company, not alone.
