AI Business-Focused Meetup Chiang Mai

⌖ Chiang Mai · 4Seas Nimman

Hosted by nick f.

Explore practical AI strategies for business growth at 4Seas Nimman in Chiang Mai on 11 November 2026, from 18:00 to 20:00 ICT. This recurring meetup focuses on turning AI’s potential into useful improvements for real businesses,without requiring a technical background. Practical AI for real business challenges The session is designed around open discussion and shared experience rather than abstract theory. Attendees will examine how AI tools and strategies can support growth, productivity and competitive advantage, with an emphasis on practical business value. Topics explored by the group include: - Automating repetitive tasks and business processes - Using AI to develop stronger customer insights - Supporting content creation and everyday marketing work - Improving operations and internal productivity - Applying AI to business analysis and decision-making - Understanding what implementation looks like across different types of companies A central part of the meetup is the opportunity to compare experiences of implementing AI in genuine commercial settings. That includes perspectives from solo ventures as well as established companies, giving participants a chance to learn how different organisations approach adoption, identify useful applications and assess where AI can create a meaningful advantage. Who should attend? This meetup welcomes entrepreneurs, business owners, managers and anyone interested in using AI for business success. No technical background is required: the conversation centres on business outcomes rather than engineering knowledge. It should be especially relevant if you are evaluating AI for your organisation, already testing tools in your workflow, or looking to learn from others facing similar opportunities and implementation questions. Hosted by nick f. through the AI Engineers in Thailand group, the event takes place at 4Seas Nimman, 2/20 Nimmana Haeminda Road, Lane 15, Tambon Su Thep, Chiang Mai 50200. The listing describes an ongoing series scheduled every two weeks on Wednesdays until 1 January 2027, creating a regular space for practical exchange and continued learning.

⌖ Chiang Mai · The Kannas Hotel

Hosted by Marcus S. and nick f.

Explore and experiment with the week’s latest AI technology at this informal coffee meetup for coders in Chiang Mai on Saturday, 14 November 2026. A weekly space for practical AI exploration AI Engineers Weekly Chiang Mai brings local coders together to discover new developments in AI, discuss what has changed during the week and try the technology for themselves. Rather than following a fixed conference-style programme, the meetup centres on open conversation, experimentation and knowledge-sharing over coffee. The session runs from 10:00 to 12:00 ICT at The Kannas Hotel in Chiang Mai. This event is part of a recurring Saturday series scheduled weekly until 1 January 2027, making it a useful regular touchpoint for anyone who wants to keep pace with a fast-moving field. What to expect During the two-hour meetup, attendees will: - Check out the latest AI technology from the week - Discuss new tools, developments and ideas with other coders - Play around with the technology in an informal setting - Learn from the different experiences and perspectives in the room - Have the opportunity to demonstrate something they have been working with The format is deliberately collaborative: participants can bring discoveries, questions or demos and explore them alongside the group. No named speakers or formal presentations are listed, so the value comes from active discussion and hands-on peer learning rather than a one-way lecture. Who should attend? Coders of all experience levels are welcome. You do not need to be an established AI engineer to take part; the organisers emphasise that everyone can learn from one another. The meetup should be particularly relevant to developers, technical builders and curious programmers who want a regular opportunity to examine current AI technology with other practitioners. If you plan to demo or experiment on your own computer, arrive with it fully charged. The event information specifically notes that charging facilities are not available at the venue. The meetup is hosted by Marcus S. and nick f. for the AI Engineers in Thailand group. The Kannas Hotel is at 308 Lampang–Chiang Mai Superhighway, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50300.

⌖ Chiang Mai · Hideaway cafe and restaurant

Hosted by Socrates Café - Chiang Mai

Explore how generative AI, deepfakes and algorithmic propaganda could reshape identity and democracy at this Socratic discussion in Chiang Mai. Taking place on Saturday 21 November 2026, from 12:00–2:00pm ICT, this talk brings Dr Philip Y. Freiberg to Hideaway Cafe and Restaurant in Chiang Mai. Admission is 200 THB. Hosted by Socrates Café Chiang Mai, the session examines artificial intelligence as a vessel for Carl Jung’s concept of the “Shadow”: a technology that can absorb and amplify society’s repressed fears, biases and desires. Dr Freiberg will connect critical theory and contemporary AI case studies with speculative fiction including Blade Runner 2049, The Matrix, Black Mirror, Westworld, Ghost in the Shell and Neuromancer. Topics under discussion - How large language models and generative media reflect the hidden sides of human consciousness - AI-driven “cybersimulacra”, election deepfakes and synthetic social movements - Algorithmic governance, automated surveillance and narrative manipulation - The effects of outsourcing cognition and civic judgement to autonomous systems - Fragmented identity and human agency in a posthuman future After the presentation and theoretical synthesis, the floor will open for a rigorous, participatory Socratic dialogue. Attendees will be encouraged to question assumptions, compare real AI events with their science-fiction counterparts and consider what technological mediation means for democratic deliberation and the sovereign self. No specific experience level or technical background is stated. Register for this event
