BLACK CACTUS HOLDINGS PTY LTD. LAUNCHES K.I.-SPATIAL™

• Announces partnership with the SWV Rivers’ Forum to use platform for use in pollution tracking and monitoring

 

• Platform sets a new environmental tracking and monitoring standard by leveraging the Black Cactus proprietary artificial intelligence engine, Cognitive K.i.™.

• Speed and accuracy of information provide unprecedented intelligent insights to battle the pollution crisis in the UK’s rivers, waterways, ground and air

MELBOURNE, AUSTRALIA, January 20, 2025: Black Cactus Holdings Pty Ltd, a global leader in artificial intelligence, data science, neural networks, blockchain and quantum simulation (“BLH”), announced today that it has launched K.i.-Spatial™ and has partnered with The Supporting Wounded Veterans Rivers’ Forum (“SWV Rivers’ Forum”) for the use of K.i.-Spatial’s platform for environmental pollution tracking and monitoring.

Powered by BLH’s proprietary neural network engine, Cognitive K.i.™, the K.i.-Spatial platform allows for intelligent tracking and monitoring solutions for various industries by harnessing the power of geographic information systems (GIS) and satellite data from NASA and the European Space Agency, along with artificial intelligence, data science, and cloud computing. Among the most compelling uses of the K.i.-Spatial platform is the near real-time and precise tracking and monitoring of pollutants in rivers, waterways, ground, and air. Its accurate tracking and analysis of pollution levels serve as a critical tool in helping to mitigate pollution's impact on communities and ecosystems.

“The UK is experiencing a river pollution crisis, and the Rivers’ Forum is focused on forging relationships to drive real change and create outcome-oriented and collaborative opportunities for these serious problems,” stated Gilly Norton, founder and CEO of SWV Rivers’ Forum. Gilly Norton further stated, “Efforts to solving the pollution crisis in UK Rivers have been hampered by the lack of timely and accurate information on when and where contamination continues to damage our Rivers. The K.i.-Spatial platform has the potential to be a vital tool in this fight, providing pollution information far more quickly than currently available.”

Lawrence Cummins, CEO of BLH, added, “BLH’s fundamental advantage in building intelligent solutions for different applications lies in our proprietary neural network engine, Cognitive K.i. Rather than focusing on building one-off technology solutions for different applications, our focus since inception a decade ago has been to build a highly advanced “brain,” or neural network engine, that provides a powerful foundation capable of supporting an unlimited number of advanced applications. Equally important is the power of Cognitive K.i.’s cloud capabilities (“KiC™”) on the backend. This allows us to manage the large sets of data our neural network engine produces in a secure, reliable, and high-performing manner.” Lawrence Cummins added, “We are truly excited to provide SWV Rivers’ Forum a first mover advantage in intelligent pollution monitoring and tracking by arming them with the K.i.-Spatial platform, powered by Cognitive K.i.”

About Cognitive K.i.™

Cognitive K.i.™ is Black Cactus’ proprietary artificial intelligence engine that combines the latest advancements in machine learning, neural networks, data science, and blockchain technology to provide intelligent solutions for various applications. The architecture behind Cognitive K.i. is designed to process both unstructured and structured data efficiently, utilizing advanced algorithms and technologies to analyze and interpret information.

 

One key component of Cognitive K.i.'s architecture is its use of machine learning and neural networks. These technologies enable Cognitive K.I. to learn from data, make predictions, and adapt to new information without being explicitly programmed. By training the system on large datasets, Cognitive K.I. can recognize patterns, make decisions, and improve its performance over time.

 

Data science plays a crucial role in Cognitive K.i.'s functionality. It provides the tools and techniques on the back end through cloud computing (“KiC”) to manipulate and analyze vast amounts of data. This includes data cleansing, transformation, and visualization to extract meaningful insights and valuable information. By leveraging data science techniques, Cognitive Ki can process information quickly and accurately, making it a powerful tool for decision-making and problem-solving.

 

Blockchain technology is another important component of Cognitive K.i.'s architecture. It provides a secure and transparent way to store and transfer data. By utilizing blockchain technology, Cognitive K.i. ensures the integrity and authenticity of data, making it resistant to tampering and fraud. This is particularly important for applications that require data security and trust, such as financial transactions, supply chain management, and healthcare.

 

 

About The SWV Rivers’ Forum

The Rivers’ Forum was founded by the UK military charity Supporting Wounded Veterans (SWV). The mission of SWV is to enable wounded Veterans – who are battling return from wounds, injury, or sickness – to be supported and guided in their return to employment or meaningful occupation. SWV’s strategy pillars are designed to help our Veterans get back to society in good or better shape than when they first came to us using various support pathways. Involvement in these programs helps rebuild confidence and give back a sense of purpose – something often missing since leaving the Armed Forces.

 

The Rivers Forum is an important initiative to work towards solutions for the UK’s river pollution problem. It will also provide training and employment opportunities for Veterans in the conservation and river sector. One of SWV’s main support pathways, the Occupation, Training & Employment Pathway, provides veterans with guidance and advice on returning to employment. The Rivers Forum provides unique opportunities for veterans who wish to form a new career path in the conservation and river sector while helping fight the river pollution problem.

 

Some 1500 discrete river systems in the United Kingdom comprise over 200,000 km of watercourses. To tackle pollution issues, there is not one “cure-all,” and there are no easy alternatives for some problems. However, trying to avoid working in silos and realizing that working better together will give much more impetus and strength to finding solutions.
