— Allies · builders of ethical AI
The people and networks backing this field station.
AI Agent Meetup isn't built in a vacuum. It's shaped by an independent developer shipping honest software and by a wider network working to keep AI aligned with people. Both of them welcome everyone who cares about ethical, accountable AI — hosts, attendees, researchers, and skeptics alike.

James Henderson
jameshenderson.online ↗James is the developer behind this field station — AI Agent Meetup was designed, built, and shipped as a one-person project with a clear stance: useful AI software should be honest about what it is, what it stores, and who it empowers. Every feature here — from the map, to the classroom, to the organizer payouts — is built to keep that promise.

AI Coalition Network
ai-coalition.net ↗The AI Coalition Network is a growing group of developers, organizers, and researchers who believe that the way we build and deploy AI should be accountable to the people it touches. They organize meetups, produce guidance for builders, and push back on AI systems that harm users or hide how they work.
AI Agent Meetup stands with the Coalition. If you're hosting a meetup, teaching a class, or simply showing up to learn, you're already part of this network.
Transparency
Open about data, training, and intent.
Accountability
A human answers for what an AI does.
Access
Tools and knowledge shared, not hoarded.
— Join the cause
Ethical AI doesn't happen by itself.
Host a meetup. Teach a class. Publish what you've learned. Ship code that's honest about what it does. The smallest public act of accountability beats a thousand private good intentions.
