Who we are
The Michigan NextGen AI Council is a nonprofit organization uniting students, academic institutions, industry professionals, and government leaders to shape the future of artificial intelligence and emerging technology in Michigan.
Founded by Julian R. Sanders, the Council was created to fill a critical gap in the AI landscape: the lack of Gen Z engagement in shaping the technologies and policies that will define their futures. We believe Michigan’s students and professionals should not just adapt to AI—but lead it.
Through dynamic partnerships with education institutions, policymakers, and industry, we empower the next generation to influence AI policy, champion innovation, and build an inclusive, tech-savvy workforce.
