Creating an environment for emerging technologies to thrive.
Our Mission
Will the future be one of abundance or scarcity? Our actions today will decide.
Abundance Institute is a mission-driven nonprofit focused on building a future of abundance. Through research, explainers, and interviews, we highlight how innovation across energy, AI, and biotechnology can deliver outsized gains in prosperity and human flourishing.
We believe that technology has the power to solve humanity's greatest challenges—from energy to healthcare to environmental sustainability. But innovation alone isn't enough. We need the right policies, the right mindsets, and the right narratives to unlock an abundant future.
Building an Abundant Future
Nothing changes if nothing changes. We stand at a crossroads: will we embrace the technologies that can lift billions out of poverty and create unprecedented prosperity, or will we let fear and outdated regulations hold us back?
Focus Areas
Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence is a general-purpose technology—like electricity or the internet—that will define U.S. competitiveness, productivity, and prosperity for decades. With the right approach, AI can expand economic opportunity, improve health and education, and create abundance for all. AI is not a threat to be feared, but a tool to be harnessed and leveraged as the source of the next Industrial Revolution.
Energy Abundance
Prosperity is energy-intensive. There are no low-energy rich countries. Because of this, the Abundance Institute is bringing clarity to a future in which everyone sees themselves succeeding in an energy-abundant future. We are delivering on the promise of a world where energy is too cheap to meter by blazing a new trail on energy generation, where we build what works.
About This Site
This website—AI Opportunity—is supported by the Abundance Institute to surface promising opportunities that artificial intelligence offers the world. Our goal is to help policymakers, builders, and the public quickly explore high-leverage AI use cases and discover credible sources.
AI is one of the most powerful technologies ever created. It has the potential to cure diseases, solve climate change, and lift billions out of poverty. But realizing this potential requires thoughtful development, responsible deployment, and policies that encourage innovation while protecting human welfare.
Through this platform, we catalog real-world examples of AI making a positive impact—from helping farmers in Malawi to detecting sharks in the ocean to dismantling scam operations. Each use case is backed by credible research and real-world evidence. If you would like to submit new stories for inclusion you can reach us at hello@abundance.institute.
