KMX Technologies

KMX’s technology facilitates a separation and recovery of pure water, lithium and other rare earth minerals a from industrial brine and waste-streams at low temperature and pressure. By using its proprietary membrane distillation technology for mineral recovery and water separation, KMX's technology targets water scarcity and contamination and offers a new method of promoting clean water and wastewater treatment. In addition, separation of Lithium, which is a critical element for batteries used in electric vehicles and other clean energy technologies, as well as other rare earth minerals, through brine and waste is a far more sustainable approach than traditional lithium extraction methods which are energy-intensive and have negative community and environmental impacts.

Indigenous Technology

The Indigenous Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) Working Group is a program focused on the intersection of artificial intelligence and Indigenous knowledge systems. The project’s interdisciplinary team of experts includes 37 co-investigators and collaborators who come from eight universities and 12 Indigenous community-based organizations in Canada, the United States and New Zealand. Most of the team members are Indigenous. They are motivated to expand the definition of intelligence by collaborating with Indigenous communities to integrate their knowledge systems with the AI research and development ecosystem to develop more integrated and practical approaches to building the next generation of A.I. systems.

Kiiren

Kiiren is a no-code software-as-a-service (SaaS) application designed with regenerative intention to incorporate AI technology in right relationship with its human operators. The platform automatically tunes itself based on “knowledge bases” loaded into it, allowing non-technical people to adapt, curate, and collaborate around knowledge sets based on their unique operating context and place. Their primary focus is on enhancing community and organizational efficiency by providing seamless access to resources and information. Its mission is to adapt LLM generative AI technologies into globally accessible “augmented regenerative intelligence” (ARI) in a way that is humane and living systems first, ethical, safe, useful, and serves as an impact multiplier and coherence builder in the regenerative movement. Kiiren’s “knowledge ecosystem” is currently supporting leaders and community building across intersections of regenerative economics, finance, spirituality, indigenous wisdom, and social transformation.
