AQAI

Who We Are

We are an award-winning team of computer vision researchers from MIT and Argonne National Research Lab.

We are building the first open source engine to predict the impact of air pollution at every location on the planet.

KEY CHALLENGES

Air pollution costs businesses $8.1 trillion annually.

Health

6 % of GDP lost due to mortality and morbidity from air pollution. We provide hyper-local air pollution exposure metrics to calculate the health burden of disease caused from pollution exposure.

Operational Efficiency

Air pollution reduces the shelf life of IT assets costing businesses $6.7 billion in energy costs and replacement costs. We perform site-suitability analyses and model improvements in HVAC efficiency over existing baselines while maintaining safety and operational constraints.

Agriculture.

Air pollution causes 10% loss in agricultural yields causing losses across the agricultural and food value chain. We provide air pollution impact assessments for farms to intelligently manage their farming practices.

Global Pollution API

Adaptive AI via ML orchestration

General Sensor Intelligence framework

Impact prediction to replace expensive simulation

Few-shot prediction to replace expensive simulation

Geo-visualization engine

Our hierarchical machine-learning model works by integrating sensor and satellite information to get a context-aware picture of pollution over your facilities.

General sensor intelligence framework

A custom-tuned model for one system may not be applicable to another. Therefore, a general intelligence framework is needed to understand the network's interactions.

Few-shot prediction to replace expensive simulation

How we operate equipment and the environment interact with each other in complex, nonlinear ways. Traditional formula-based engineering and human intuition often do not capture these interactions.

Adaptive AI via ML orchestration Systems

Systems cannot adapt quickly to internal or external changes (like the weather). This is because we cannot come up with rules and heuristics for every operating scenario.
