GenLab Studio invites individuals & teams to our 3rd hackathon with $15K in cash awards. We're intrigued by how AI Agents will interoperate in the world of transactions & finance, & we're excited to see what people build. Projects can start from scratch or have up to $1M in revenue & funding to be eligible for prizes. Our judges includeJeremiah Owyang(Blitzscaling Ventures),Charlene Li,Robert Scoble, Aku Srikanth (Juniper Networks), & Nicolai Wadstrom (BootstrapLabs)nAI will enable a world of Intelligent Agents & Autonomous systems, from chatbots to robots. GenLab is looking to see how Trusted AI can build Agents, enable humans who provide individual services, & allow humans to accomplish more in their day-to-day lives.nAreas of Focus:nFintech: Money is the backbone of our world today. To interact with modern society, financial autonomy must be had. Will we allow AI to interact with our finances? In many respects, we already do. What does the future of AI & Fintech look like?nSupply Chain: Automated Invoicing & Payments, through new Financial Vehicles, can take the Quote to Cash process from months to seconds. How do you build the mechanisms of trust legal contracts & find areas that can be improved?nAI Agents:Autonomous agents that can act & translate on behalf of their owners, making basic decisions based on rules & logic, with humans in the loop only as necessary.nVirtual Worlds: In-game currencies & virtual goods are profit engines. How will these economies operate between new AI-powered NPCs (Non-Player Characters) that may even purchase digital goods of real players? Second Life, one of the earliest virtual worlds, has long been profitable from its virtual currency & has forged some of the original concepts in digital currencies & economies. How will agents disrupt this industry?Our keynote speaker is Phillip Rosedale, Founder of Second LifenBlockchain: Will Generative AI give Blockchain a purpose? Blockchain is proving to be an important underlying technology that can provide security, decentralization, immutability, & zero-knowledge proofs, as well as transferring & storing value. How can Blockchain be leveraged for AI Agents to increase security & provide better guardrails for authentication, security, & protection of our data & finances?nEnergy: Energy is the root form of money; how will new intelligent systems create advanced brokering agreements between distributed energy systems? How will fully autonomous vehicles charge themselves in a diversified charging ecosystem?nLegal: Autonomous systems will need the authority to transact on your behalf.nHow can systems be agile without lengthy pre-negotiated contracts? How will systems understand legal contracts & negotiate between parties & between themselves?nWe look forward to seeing what everyone creates!nGenLab (GenLab.Studio) is an AI-focused venture studio & a Digital Garage portfolio company. Digital Garage is a Japanese firm thats funded over 300 companies (dg717.com).nProducing Partner: Aiify.ionJoin our Discord to connect with teams & projects, & receive important announcements!
