This is BC + AI: part solarpunk R&D lab, part community potluck, all heart, no gatekeepers. Plug into the mesh and let’s prototype ecosystems that learn, heal, and co-create right alongside us.
We support British Columbia’s transition into ethical, inclusive AI—by helping public institutions, businesses, and community leaders build the knowledge, skills, and partnerships they need to navigate emerging technologies.

Building a Grassroots AI Community of Practice
UBC's BC Studies Journal has published a case study on the Vancouver AI Community and BC+AI Ecosystem.
It captures the early formation of a decentralized, creative, human-first AI movement in British Columbia — built without corporate capture or gatekeepers.
The work stands as a record of what can happen when communities organize themselves around curiosity, ethics, and action.
