Vancouver Ai Community Meetup - May 2026
Building the AI Commons is about the tools, archives, models, stories, standards, and institutions that still belong to everybody.
It is about keeping knowledge open without letting culture get strip-mined. It is about creative AI that has taste, consent, and fingerprints. It is about public memory. It is about refusing a future where five companies own the interface to reality.

Andrea Mills joins us from Internet Archive Canada to talk about preserving the open web and building public knowledge infrastructure in the AI age.
Dr. Rachel Horst brings the artist-builder lens: transparent creative systems, anti-slop workflows, and what happens when AI becomes a material instead of a replacement.
Kris Krüg makes the civic case: Canada needs a federally funded West Coast Centre for Ethical and Creative AI.
Bring your open-source brain, your artist heart, your civic spine, your messy questions, and your suspicious little eyebrow.
