**The Rocky Mountain AI Interest Group (RMAIIG) will host an in-person meeting in Boulder on Monday, December 9th, at 6:00 pm MT on “AI for Good.”**

These days, anyone keeping up with artificial intelligence will notice a newsfeed full of stories about the challenges and risks associated with this rapidly evolving technology. While it’s crucial to address these concerns, it’s just as important to highlight the many positive outcomes AI innovation is delivering. **That’s why RMAIIG is focusing on some of the exciting and beneficial ways AI is making a difference.**

**We are pleased to announce that Phil Nugent is organizing and facilitating the meeting.** In addition to his work developing a best-of-both-worlds approach to using AI in digital marketing, **Phil is the founder and editor-in-chief of Colorado AI News**. In this role, he is always looking for possible stories about Colorado’s AI experts and entrepreneurs, not to mention inspiring examples of “AI for Good.”

**Our first two speakers, Anne Wintemute and Steven Nichols, are the co-founders of the Denver-based startup Aimee Says.** They are on a mission to support the millions of people who are affected by domestic abuse each year, and their innovative, AI-driven app serves as a companion, helping victims process their experiences, seek safety, and prepare for legal proceedings. In less than a year, Aimee Says has grown to support tens of thousands of victims across 95 countries.

**In their presentation, Anne and Steven will share their journey as founders of an impact-driven company**, detailing how their technology and business evolved over the first year — from a simple prototype to an MVP, and ultimately, a full release. They’ll discuss the unique technology challenges posed by their user population, the critical need to provide unwavering support to these users, and their ambitious vision for the future. AI represents a revolutionary breakthrough in supporting domestic violence victims, and Anne and Steven will explore how Aimee Says leverages this transformative technology to make a profound difference in the world.

**Our next two speakers, Product Manager Matt Hron and Director of Technology Matt Morrissette, are core members of the leadership team of Wildlife Protection Solutions**, based in Golden. WPS is an international nonprofit whose mission is to help save endangered species and ecosystems, and the company’s AI-assisted systems are a key element in helping it achieve its goals.

Matt Hron and Matt Morrissette will discuss the mission of WPS, its challenges and successes, and **how AI is being used to monitor animals and wildlife threats around the world in real time.** In a nutshell, AI is helping to bring efficiencies that maximize the impact of the limited resources of wildlife conservation organizations.

**Our final speaker, Adrian Chernoff, is the CEO of Ojje, a Boulder-based startup redefining children’s literacy education.** Trained as an engineer and holder of 91 awarded patents, Adrian has delivered transformative innovations across a host of fascinating roles at NASA, General Motors, Disney Imagineering, and Johnson & Johnson.

Founded just a year ago, Ojje is tackling the literacy challenge in the U.S., where 67% of fifth grade students lack reading proficiency. Ojje’s Literacy Learning System is an AI-powered platform offering an industry-first, story-driven user experience that seamlessly combines cutting-edge technology with an intuitive and engaging interface to **profoundly impact how children learn to read and improve literacy outcomes**.
