AI Safety Chapter — Students for Society (SFORS)
AI Safety · Students for Society

The AI Safety Chapter

Helping students and communities understand how artificial intelligence is shaping law, rights, and everyday life — through webinars, hands-on workshops, and free talks right here in our own neighborhoods.

About the chapter

Making AI safety make sense

The AI Safety Chapter of Students for Society breaks down complex questions about artificial intelligence — from privacy and bias to regulation and safety — into ideas anyone can understand. We host webinars, run hands-on workshops, and bring these conversations into libraries, senior centers, and community spaces so the people affected by AI have a real say in how it’s governed.

Thanks to everyone who came out — here are a few moments from the day.
