AI Investment Summit 2025 @ UC Berkeley
🧠 AI Investment Summit 2025 @ UC Berkeley
AI is not called a revolution — it is one.
It is transforming industries, redefining the job market, and challenging how we think about creation, decision-making, and what it means to be human.
For more than a century, UC Berkeley has stood at the frontier of change — where new ideas challenge old assumptions, and where innovation is guided not only by the pursuit of progress, but also by a sense of public purpose. From the invention of the transistor to the rise of open-source software and breakthroughs in gene editing, Berkeley has shown how to turn ideas into impact and impact into lasting progress for humanity.
At this moment of transformation, our student community carries that tradition forward through the AI Investment Summit · Berkeley 2025, a non-profit, student-led summit dedicated to understanding the real landscape of AI beyond the hype.
Our goal is to bring together researchers, entrepreneurs, investors, and builders for grounded, thoughtful dialogue to understand what is changing, and to build the next decade not from hype, but from truth, purpose, and shared conviction.
