Bowdoin A.I. Impact

“If I were a student today, the first thing I would do is to learn AI.”
Bowdoin College
Get good at the tools everyone is about to expect you to know.
Bowdoin A.I. Impact is a student club for learning how AI is actually used in real work, testing where it fails, and building projects with it. We meet every Monday and anyone can walk in.

This month
Sep 14 — L1: AI on the Job
How consulting, banking, product, and law use it day to day, and what analysts still do by hand.
Sep 21 — L2: Confidently Wrong
Make hallucination, sycophancy, and bias happen live, then learn how to catch them.
Sep 28 — L3: Know the Rules First
Firm AI policies and disclosure. What is allowed, and what gets you cut.
What this club is
Most of what students hear about AI is either hype or panic. We do neither. Every meeting gives you something you can use the next day, whether that is a workflow for your job search, a clearer sense of what these tools get wrong, or a project you built yourself.
Open to every major.
Government, biology, art history, CS. The point is what you do with the tools in your own field, not writing code.
Built around real use.
Firm AI policies, disclosure rules, hiring, privacy. The things that actually come up at an internship.
You leave with work.
Projects get showcased on this site, not just talked about.
What we're covering this semester
