AI Score Raises $5.4M for Enterprise AI Governance
AI Score, a London-based startup founded in 2025, has secured $5.4 million (€4.6 million) in seed funding to scale its AI governance platform for managing generative and agentic AI in enterprises. The round was led by Fuel Ventures, with participation from founding investor GALLOS Technologies, as well as Robert Mann of Marshall Bridge Ventures, Mo El Husseiny of Ventura Capital, and Alan Morgan of MMC Ventures. Co-founded by Alex Harland, Benita Tibb, and Jonathan Kewley, the company provides real-time visibility, tracking, and control over AI usage, addressing challenges related to autonomy, security, and accountability. The funding will accelerate product development and go-to-market efforts, with increased revenue reported in early 2026 from regulated sectors like law, fintech, and FTSE 250 firms. The startup previously closed a $1 million pre-seed round in November 2025.
Empowering 1,000 Small Businesses with Practical AI Tools
OpenAI Academy is running the Small Business AI Jam, a nationwide, hands-on workshop in partnership with DoorDash, SCORE, and regional business support organizations to help more than 1,000 small business owners build practical AI tools. The in-person Jams take place across five hubs — San Francisco, New York City, Houston, Detroit, and Miami — and a virtual Jam will be hosted on December 4. Participants, representing sectors such as professional services, food service, retail, creative services, and local trades, will work with OpenAI mentors to create at least one ready-to-use AI tool for tasks like marketing, customer communication, and operational efficiency. Preparatory online resources, a post-Jam community, and an after-action report (updated December 15, 2025) support ongoing adoption. OpenAI also endorsed two bipartisan bills in Congress related to clearer guidance and training resources for small businesses using AI.
New York Enacts RAISE Act; Major AI Deals and Infrastructure Signals
Amazon has filed a lawsuit against Perplexity seeking to block the startup’s Comet browser agent from making purchases on Amazon.com, arguing the agent disguises itself as a human user and violates Amazon’s terms — a case that could set important legal precedent over how far agentic AI can act autonomously on users’ behalf. Perplexity disputes the claims and argues agents should have the same rights and responsibilities as their human principals. The newsletter also highlights broader AI infrastructure, commercial and policy developments: Apple is finalizing a deal to pay Google about $1B/year for a large Gemini model to power the next Siri; OpenAI signed a seven‑year, $38B compute deal with AWS; Google will soon launch its Ironwood TPU (claimed >4x faster than prior generation); Microsoft AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman signaled a superintelligence focus emphasizing human control; and major vendors (Meta, Alphabet, Microsoft, Amazon) forecast combined AI spending increases. The piece flags implications for retail media and advertising, agent reliability research, geopolitical chip restrictions, and regulatory/political pushback around AI financing and safety.
