Aged Intelligence Society hosts invite-only dinners on midlife and AI

In short: A new events group called the Aged Intelligence Society is holding invite-only dinner parties where women talk through midlife challenges and try AI tools to help.

What happened

WIRED interviewed Shoshana Berger and Nina Willdorf, the cofounders of the Aged Intelligence Society. Berger is a former WIRED editor and has held editorial roles at companies including Notion and IDEO.

The Aged Intelligence Society is an events startup that organizes private, invite-only dinners. The group’s stated goal is to bring women together to “solve midlife problems” using what it calls “frontier tools.” In everyday terms, that means newer tech tools, including artificial intelligence, which is software that can generate text and ideas (like a very fast writing assistant).

The dinners are positioned as a mix of community and problem-solving. Instead of a public conference or online forum, the setting is intentionally small and private, more like a curated salon than an open meetup.

Why it matters

Many people are trying to figure out where AI tools actually help in real life, beyond office work or coding. Groups like this suggest a broader shift, where AI is discussed as a practical support tool for everyday issues, such as planning, writing, organizing, or career changes. It also highlights how some tech-focused networking is moving into smaller, invitation-based spaces that can feel safer for candid conversations.
