Lead something real. From day one.
We give young builders, researchers and communicators the room and responsibility to ship work that matters — in Linz, Vienna and in the rooms where AI is decided.
Three things we look for.
The same standard every member on the Teams page was selected against.
Leadership & character
You pick up unsolved problems, follow through and communicate with care. How you show up is how the community is judged.
Capability & drive
Technical depth, design and communications craft, programme execution or institutional fluency — turned into real output.
Reliability & fit
Consistent time, reliable async follow-through and in-person participation at the hub you can reach.
No prior AI degree required. Beginners who deliver beat experts who disappear.
From open seat to the wall.
Nobody becomes a member by filling out a form. You earn your seat by delivering.
Apply
Tell us what you bring, which team fits and which hub you can reach. Official intake windows are September and February.
Share your evidence: work, projects, a CV.
Members agree to the Young AI Leaders Community Charter and our membership terms on acceptance. You can leave any time.
Four teams. Two hubs.
Pick the hub you can reach in person. We match your team to what you bring and where capacity is needed.
Community & Events
Bring both hubs together through meetups, public stages and events.
Skills & Education
Run learning formats, school pilots, partner workshops and internal upskilling.
Software & Research
Ship software and prototypes, run applied research, publish what we learn.
Operations & Growth
