Progress needs
a common ground.

AI is changing what we can do.
We are working to define how we grow with it.

The North American Artificial Intelligence Association brings a shared mission to AI education, community development, competition, and proficiency. We connect the learning journey with the resources and principles that make it meaningful.

Our focus is practical: clearer education standards, well-supported AI clubs, opportunities to demonstrate skills, and a transparent approach to AI certification.

Illustrative learning pathway. Formal levels, eligibility, assessment rules, and launch dates will be published when finalized. No certification is currently offered through this website.

Rooted in North America.
Open to the world.

A stronger AI community is built through shared participation. We welcome conversations with educators, student clubs, researchers, industry partners, and organizers who want to help shape what comes next.

Express your interest

Membership categories and chapter participation terms are being developed. An inquiry does not enroll you in a program.

A few useful answers

Before we
connect.

Who can get involved?

We welcome inquiries from individuals, educators, institutions, AI clubs, researchers, and industry partners. Use the form below to share your interests. Membership and chapter terms are under development and will be published when ready.

Are certifications available now?

Our AI proficiency framework and assessment policies are in development. This website does not issue certificates or accept certification payments. Finalized levels, criteria, fees if applicable, and registration details will be announced before launch.

How can an AI club connect with the association?

Select “AI clubs & chapters” in the inquiry form and tell us about your community, location, activities, and goals. Chapter recognition and operating guidelines will be shared as the network program develops.

Can partners access the computing facility?

We welcome discussions about educational, research, and competition-related uses. Access is subject to project review, availability, and agreed terms. Submitting an inquiry does not reserve hardware or provide immediate access.

Where can I find upcoming competition dates?

Competition programs are being developed. Confirmed dates, eligibility, judging criteria, and registration information will be published here. You can express your interest through the contact form.
