AI in Business (UMNAIB) — the University of Minnesota's student club for artificial intelligence in business.
Minnesota's community for students who want to learn AI, build with it, and lead — through speakers, case competitions, and hands-on workshops. Every major. No experience needed.
See it in action
Learn to use AI
anywhere.
In class, at your internship, on the bus. We teach you to turn AI from a buzzword into something you actually reach for — then prove it, live, right here.

What you'll do
Three ways in.
Everything we run ladders up to one goal — you walk out able to do things with AI that most people can't.
Leaders who actually use it
CEOs, founders and leaders from across the business world on how they're really using AI to transform their companies and their roles — the playbook, straight from the people running it.
Real work, real rewards
Compete for prizes on real problems — often alongside small companies and nonprofits. Do the work, watch it come to life, and see how it actually changes a business.
Get genuinely good at AI
Hands-on sessions where we teach you to actually use it — the right prompts, the right templates, the workflow, and exactly why it's worth your time. Leave better than you came.
The stack
Tools we actually use.
We don't just talk about AI — we get hands-on with the models rewriting every industry. Here's some of what you'll work with.
Why we exist
The edge goes to whoever adapts first.
We're here to make that you.
AI is reshaping every industry you're about to walk into. Our job is simple — get you fluent before the world expects you to be, able to use it well, question it honestly, and build things other people can't. No gatekeeping, no prerequisites. Just students getting ahead, together.
The Weekly
AI, in five minutes a week.
Our weekly newsletter lands in members' inboxes — the one AI model, tool, or use case actually worth your time. The only way to get it is to sign up.
Straight to your inbox.
Sign up and the weekly lands in your email — the one model, tool, or use case worth your time, plus what's coming up at the club. (Reading it right here on the site is coming soon; for now, email is the only way in.)
No spam. No noise. We send newsletters, event updates, and thank-yous. That's all.

The students running UMNAIB. Reach out anytime — we're friendly.
Good to know
Questions, answered.
None at all. Most members start knowing almost nothing — that's the point. We meet you where you are and get you genuinely good, fast.
Every single one. Business, CSE, CLA, design, undecided — AI is reshaping all of it, and the best teams are the mixed ones. If you're a UMN student, you're welcome.
Nothing. Membership is free, forever. Just sign up and show up.
Real AI skills, speakers you'd never meet otherwise, case competitions you can put on a résumé, a weekly newsletter that keeps you sharp, and a network of ambitious students. You leave able to do things most people can't.
Fill out the join form below — first name, last name, school email. That's it. We'll email you before the next meeting.
Partners & affiliations
In good company.
We're proud to work and partner with organizations across campus and the Twin Cities.
Get in early
Join the club.
Open to every University of Minnesota student. Three boxes and you're on the list — meetings, case competitions, the weekly newsletter, everything. Free, always.
★ Forward thinking — built for where business is going, not where it's been.
