A peer-driven community for Wharton alumni - Members will work on their individual AI projects, share approaches, exchange ideas, and help one another turn new skills into practical applications.
The AI Circle is designed to create a small, trusted community where alumni can share experiences, exchange ideas, support one another, and navigate AI tools together.
Who Should Join?
This Circle may be a fit if you are:
- Active Builders & Practitioners: Alumni who are currently working on—or about to launch—an individual AI project and need a structured, supportive environment to bring it to life.
- Skill-to-Application Finishers: Professionals who have taken courses or learned AI concepts but want a collaborative space to turn those new skills into practical, real-world business applications.
- Collaborative Problem Solvers: Individuals eager to actively share their own approaches, exchange technical or strategic ideas, and troubleshoot challenges alongside peers.
- Privacy-Conscious Innovators: Leaders who value a small, trusted, and confidential inner circle where they can safely share vulnerable business experiences, successes, and failures.
- Tool Navigators: Alumni looking to cut through the noise of the rapidly changing AI landscape by exploring and validating new AI tools together with trusted peers.

- Small group of 6–12 Wharton alumni
- Six-month commitment
- 3–5 meetings (virtual and in-person)
