Built for action, not networking
About AI and the future of work
A small group of Baltimore HR executives, figuring out AI—and what employers can do together.
AI is changing work faster than any one employer can fully understand or navigate.
Normally, employers figure it out separately. Baltimore asks: what happens if a city doesn't?

The agenda is not written yet.
What Baltimore HR leaders tell us now shapes what the first sessions cover.
The survey takes two minutes. Answers stay anonymous and are only shared as group totals. You do not have to join anything to fill it out.
03 · The Signal
AI is already inside work.
88%
of organizations used AI in at least one business function in 2025.

Zero.
We haven't found another U.S. city where HR executives make shared commitments on AI and work. There is no model to borrow—so this group will build one.
More than 1 in 4.
Baltimore households lack a basic digital device.

04 · What we do
Learn. Work together. Commit. Share.

Work together
HR executives from major Baltimore employers and institutions make sense of it together—for their people and the city.
03
Commit
The room decides on shared commitments that create value for participating organizations, their people, and Baltimore—so action starts right away.

What we learn gets shared. Participating organizations can be recognized among the first to move, and others can learn from what worked.

Who are we choosing to be as leaders in this moment?
Not spectators. Leaders willing to understand the change, challenge assumptions, protect what should stay human, redesign what should change, and create opportunity through the transition.
