The Gothenburg Artificial Intelligence Alliance (GAIA) is a non-profit association that promotes interest in artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and data engineering in Gothenburg and the surrounding area. We are a community connecting AI practitioners across industry, academia, and the public sector. We have hosted our annual GAIA Conference since 2018, and our community roots in the Machine Learning and Data Science (GBG) Meetup date back to 2014.
GAIA offers knowledge-sharing and networking through regular events. We hold Meetups roughly bi-monthly and arrange our conference annually in the spring. Between events, our members can engage through the GAIA Slack.
We aim to support a strong regional community and ecosystem within artificial intelligence, machine learning, data science, and data engineering, enabling startups, scaleups, and established companies to thrive. Networking across domains and spreading local and external knowledge are key to a prosperous community.
GAIA is a Swedish members' association. Becoming a member shows your support for the community and the organisation. Together, we form GAIA and help build the community. By joining, you connect with like-minded people and may influence our direction.
With the membership comes the right to vote at our annual meeting, e.g., to elect the organisation's board. We havea small yearly membership fee of 50 SEK(2025). Sign up by filling out the form below and paying this fee through Swish. After submitting the form, you will receive the QR code for the Swish payment directly in the browser. The membership is valid for the current year of activity—from one annual meeting to the next. When a new year starts, all members have to rejoin.
By joining, you agree to our organisational by-laws.
At the core of GAIA are our events. They are open to everyone, but registration is always needed. Our smaller events, or meetups, are free of charge. We publish our events in the events section. The events are popular and fill up quickly.
In spring, we host our main event of the year: The GAIA Conference. Information about the program and more is available on the conference page.
