The seeds for the Kansas City AI Club (https://kansascity.ai) were planted back in the early days of the Social Media Club KC.

Fast forward to early 2023 and the emergence of AI. What if there was a community where AI enthusiasts and professionals can come together? That group was established in April 2023 and has become one of the fastest growing professional organizations in Kansas City.
