A production farm in Botswana where we commercial our new AI and AgTech innovations. Located a few km from Molepolole and about 50 km from the capital city, Gaborone.

WorldFish Collaboration

"Highly innovative with strong scientific merit. The integration of microbiome science and AI for real-time diagnostics presents a novel solution for improving pond health and productivity. Strong institutional capacity and co-design aspects are included." - Feedback from WorldFish review committee, 2025.

A collaboration with WorldFish members out of the Lusaka, Zambia office. Our project was selected as a top5 finalist in the 2025 Waves Challenge where Gregory Kasanga (a WorldFish researcher based in Lusaka, ZM) presented in Penang Malaysia.

WorldFish is one of the world's leading NGO for fisheries and aquaculture, working with the World Bank Group, UN FAO, and similar organizations for 50 years.

The project looks to form partnerships with small scale tilapia producers across Africa, especially those in rural and remote communities. Our technology leverages remote sensing, AI, and aquatic microbiome management to increase fish health and farm productivity.

Sustainability

Water Footprint

It takes a average of 15,000 liters (3,960 gal) to produce 1 kg (2.2 pounds) of beef. That is about 4 tonnes of water per hamburger!!! Our AquaQ technology in a RAS (indoor, recirculating aquaculture system) brings that down to less than 500 liters. Further, we are working on additional technologies and processes to bring it down to 50 liters per kg of seafood produced.

That is what we mean by transformative change in sustainability.

Solar Power

The good news and bad news of developing projects in rural Africa is that often there is no grid power to connect to. That means we sustainable power generation: solar, wind, biomass are great options to power our facilities, using battery and thermal storage.

However, power generation and storage is a huge part of our capital expenditures. Crowdfunding solar arrays helps us accelerate our growth, allowing us to help more people in more communities.

Consider sponsoring solar panels to offset your carbon footprint and help us grow!

Empowerment AI

A different Paradigm

Thoughts on AI paradigms by our President: Glen Schrader.

I see there being two main paradigms for AI development: Coercion AI (cAI) and Empowerment AI (eAI). cAI are profit extraction machines that power social media. They stoke fires of anger, unfairness, resentment, and fear, but scroll a little farther and miraculously there is an offer for a Magic Pill that solves all woes for only $29.95/month. Welcome to propaganda 2.0, where users can uses systems for free so that AI mine their psychological profile and determine how best to control the narrative. The bulk of the benefit is to the cAI owner, not the user.

There is Replacement AI, automated drivers, automated code and web-design, but to me, these are just the newest form of automation and not really unique to AI.

Then there is Empowerment AI (eAI). This is what we do. Here the primary objective is to empower the user, help them find information to make better decision, provide alternatives and help the user develop new skills and analytical abilities, hopefully, to be a better person and successful entrepreneur. Our systems generate a profound increase in primary productivity and we choose to share this value with the community, not just shareholders. Our business value comes from increased productivity in Aquaculture and Agriculture, not people’s data. AI is transformative here, where we can use AI and AgTech to increase traditional production by over 10x. Then we use AI to increase Value Added Production in AgriBusiness to create even more skill development, jobs, and prosperity.

eAI is not just a difference approach to AI and its dynamics on users and society, it is also a different approach to AI development. Our heuristics and algorithms use a unique design concept that let's us build over manifold holes and spikes, topologies that can generate hallucinations in cAI. Coercion is complex and often contradictory which causes a lot of pathological topologies within AI manifold. Our solution is simple. Tell the truth. An eAI that has no layers of coercion is much faster, stable, robust, and provides better solutions than a comparable cAI. Scaffolding is stronger and holes tend to be absent data rather than contradictions.

In the systems we are working on, mathematical models and algorithms provide non-anthropomorphic heuristics such as "AI-curiosity" and "AI-trust" to help identify aberrant and pathological topologies so that additional training can be done to logically fill in the holes and smooth the spikes. These heuristics don’t align well with cAI models but are the core for our version of eAI.

Nothing will stop the development of cAI for malevolent use. No law or regulation will keep people safe from cAI and bad actors. To me, the best we can hope for is that eAI empowers people enough to counter the harm caused from cAI. We hope you join us in the exciting journey over the next 10 years as cAI and eAI systems grow and evolve.
