Tech Lab
The tech world's push for "one-size-fits-all" solutions ignores a simple truth: our worlds are not all the same. When context is overlooked, technology doesn't just fail, it can amplify existing inequities. So, as AI rapidly advances, our focus is on harnessing it as a catalyst, guided by community wisdom, not replacing it. That's why we start at the base, just as Benthos signifies the foundation of marine ecosystems. Here, we co-create tools for our world.

Featured Tool
The Benthos Bot
The Challenge:
Global conservation knowledge is heavily biased towards the Global North. This imbalance makes it difficult for local leaders to access local relevant information and shapes a narrative that overlooks their own expertise.
Our Approach:
Our AI tool is built on a "local first" principle. It's designed to consult the expertise of community leaders, local scientists, and traditional knowledge systems first, before turning to global data. This makes information more relevant and respectful - a first step in evolving the bot from a simple tool into a proactive partner for leaders on the ground.
