A multi-stakeholder group including individuals from the University of Texas School of Law, Brown University, UC Berkeley, Aspen Digital, and SeedAI is excited to announce the AI Opportunity Inventory. From improving healthcare outcomes and educational access to accelerating energy development and enhancing disaster response, AI presents profound opportunities.Their goal is to surface and share AI use cases that align with the public interest and help address public policy problems, from improving healthcare outcomes and educational access to accelerating energy development. By systematically mapping the landscape of AI uses tailored to public policy problems, the group aims to foster collaboration, direct resources effectively, and inform policy that accelerates innovation for the public good.Every AI use case presents the possibility of positive and negative social outcomes. This inventory explicitly focuses on the opportunity for positive results. A focus on AI opportunities reflects the group’s observation that policymakers, researchers, and other stakeholders have often struggled to find such use cases outside of company press releases and blog posts.

Genspark just secured a $275M Series B at a $1.25B valuation - and for us, this one lands on a personal level. We’ve been in the trenches with Wen and the team as they built toward this moment, including panels that turned into standing-room crowds, webinars that pulled in global audiences, and IRL activations that took us from North America to Asia. When you see that kind of momentum up close, today feels less like a milestone and more like the inevitable next chapter.

In five months, they raced to $50M ARR, shipped agents that quietly erase entire categories of office grind, and carved out a real lane beside Copilot and Gemini. With backing from Temasek’s Pavilion Capital, LG Tech Ventures, SBI, and others, they’re proving that speed, clarity, and product truth can still beat size.

One of our own just shipped something big. Aman and Chuck from the Miami chapter just launched Lamatic 3.0 on Product Hunt today - and it’s already climbing fast, sitting at No. 3 for the day. It’s always special when a community leader pushes the frontier forward, but seeing them build, ship, and rise in real time hits different.

If you’ve ever crossed paths with them at an AIC event, you know how much heart and hustle goes into their work. Today’s their moment — let’s help push it over the top.
