California AI Company Unveils Praxis Human-First AI™

Published

A New Category Designed to Preserve and Amplify Trusted Human Intelligence

At the AI for Good Global Summit 2026, Praxis AI introduces the Praxis Human-First Agentic Platform™: the technology, trust, intelligence, and economic infrastructure for Human-First AI.

GENEVA, July 2, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The first era of artificial intelligence transformed access to information and computation. Praxis AI believes the next era will transform access to trusted human intelligence.

Building on decades of foundational advances in AI, including contributions by AI visionary Ray Kurzweil in pattern recognition, machine intelligence, and knowledge representation, Praxis AI has identified the defining challenge of this next era: not building increasingly capable models, but building intelligent systems that remain human-directed, human-governed, and designed to preserve, amplify, and responsibly scale the knowledge, judgment, creativity, and expertise that make people uniquely valuable.

Meeting that challenge requires more than a new product or model. It requires an entirely new category of artificial intelligence.

At the AI for Good Global Summit 2026, organized by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) in partnership with more than 50 UN agencies and co-convened with the Government of Switzerland, the company introduces Praxis Human-First AI™: artificial intelligence built to keep human expertise trusted, protected, and continuously available – with people, not models, directing every intelligent interaction.

The company will present its vision during the featured fireside conversation, “Foresight with a Heartbeat: Human-First AI and the Rise of Amplified Intelligence,” with David James Clarke IV, Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder, and Sharyn Outtrim, Chief Marketing Officer and Co-Founder, on Thursday, July 9, from 2:30–3:00 p.m. CEST on the Town Square Stage at Palexpo.

Defining Human-First AI

Praxis AI defines Human-First AI as artificial intelligence built on its Human-First Agentic Platform: a trusted infrastructure that enables AI to be created, governed, protected, and continuously improved, with humans serving as the conductors who guide AI with purpose, judgment, and oversight.

Human-First AI is not a single product or model. It is an integrated ecosystem of technologies designed to make trusted human expertise persistent, protected, and accessible across people, organizations, and generations.

Every Human-First AI experience begins with the same five conditions: a trusted human source, a governed purpose, protected knowledge, measurable accountability, and continuous human oversight.

Praxis AI calls the result Amplified Intelligence: the emergent capability created through continuous collaboration between human expertise and Human-First AI. Rather than replacing human judgment, Human-First AI learns from, extends, and amplifies it, creating outcomes that neither humans nor AI could achieve independently, while expanding access to trusted expertise across people, organizations, and generations.

The Architecture of Human-First AI

Human-First AI builds on decades of progress in artificial intelligence while addressing a new challenge. Inspired by the pioneering work of AI visionary Ray Kurzweil in pattern recognition, machine intelligence, and knowledge representation, Praxis AI has developed a unified architecture that extends those advances by keeping trusted human intelligence at the center of every AI experience.

The Praxis Human-First Agentic Platform is architected as a complete, integrated stack, with each layer purpose-built to address a distinct requirement for deploying trusted AI at scale.

At the foundation is the trust layer: the Patented Praxis IP Vault™ protects proprietary human knowledge through advanced encryption and access-controlled governance, ensuring that expertise uploaded to the platform cannot be used to train third-party models or accessed without authorization. PraxisShield™ extends this protection across the entire platform, providing enterprise-grade governance and compliance infrastructure.

The intelligence layer is organized around two proprietary systems. The 3D Digital Brain™ models the structure, relationships, and reasoning patterns of human expertise, enabling knowledge to be organized, connected, and experienced through more natural and intuitive interactions rather than retrieved as static documents. The Agentic Bus™, inspired by the synaptic architecture of the human brain, intelligently connects and coordinates AI agents as neural pathways coordinate human thought, enabling complex workflows to be distributed, managed, and refined across multiple models and systems in real time. The Human-First Agentic Platform is an intelligence infrastructure that grows sharper with every interaction, continuously refined by the humans who use it.

Built on this foundation, the platform intelligently orchestrates work across multiple AI models, optimizing quality, performance, and cost while supporting voice personalization, photorealistic avatars, enterprise middleware, and immersive AI experiences. The result is an ecosystem where trusted expertise is preserved, human capability is expanded, and intelligent systems learn with people rather than simply respond to prompts.

The economic layer, Praxis Universal Credit™, provides the exchange infrastructure that makes trusted human intelligence a distributable, governable digital asset. As a universal intelligence exchange layer, Praxis Universal Credit enables Praxis Human-First Digital Twins™, intelligent agents, and immersive AI experiences to be securely accessed, licensed, exchanged, and intelligently optimized across people, organizations, and platforms, establishing the economic foundation for what Praxis sees as an emerging intelligence economy.

Together, the Human-First Agentic Platform and Praxis Universal Credit represent the technological and economic infrastructure for Human-First AI: a complete architecture for creating, protecting, governing, and scaling trusted human intelligence at enterprise and institutional scale.

“For decades, we built infrastructure for information: the internet, cloud computing, and now artificial intelligence,” said David James Clarke IV, CEO and Co-Founder of Praxis AI. “But algorithms scale computation. People create meaning. The next era of AI will be defined by trusted infrastructure that allows human intelligence to persist, collaborate, and evolve. Human-First AI is our answer to that moment: AI designed not to replace people, but to preserve, amplify, and responsibly scale what makes them valuable.”

“Human-First AI begins with a simple principle: start with the human, not the model,” said Sharyn Outtrim, CMO and Co-Founder of Praxis AI. “Technology earns trust when it expands human capability, protects human knowledge, and strengthens human relationships. Praxis AI is defining the category of Human-First AI: artificial intelligence built to keep trusted human expertise protected, persistent, and available at the scale the world needs.”

Human-First AI in Practice

As part of AI for Good 2026, Praxis AI will demonstrate Human-First AI through NOVA: the Summit’s first AI-powered digital concierge and personalized conference curator. Powered by the Praxis Human-First Agentic Platform, NOVA builds a persistent memory of each attendee’s purpose and interests, mapping them to the Summit’s themes and tracks in real time to surface relevant sessions, facilitate speaker connections, and help delegates navigate the conference with clarity and intention.

NOVA is one application in a growing family of Human-First AI experiences that includes Human-First Digital Twins, intelligent agents, immersive AI applications, and enterprise intelligence solutions, all designed to preserve trusted expertise and expand human capability.

The platform’s impact is already measurable at scale. Across more than 180 institutions in three countries, Praxis-powered Human-First AI has achieved sustained engagement rates exceeding 70 percent, more than three times the industry average, while helping learners improve by a full letter grade in subject mastery. By making trusted human expertise available to more than 300,000 people, 24 hours a day and in more than 100 languages, Human-First AI is expanding access to personalized guidance regardless of geography or socioeconomic circumstance, ensuring that a first-generation technical school student receives the same quality of expert support as a student at an elite university.

Additional Human-First AI innovations built on the Praxis Human-First Agentic Platform will be introduced during AI for Good 2026, demonstrating how trusted human intelligence can be preserved, amplified, and responsibly shared across generations.

About Praxis AI

Praxis AI is creating the category of Human-First AI: artificial intelligence designed to preserve, amplify, govern, and responsibly scale trusted human intelligence. Through a strategic joint venture with Kurzweil Technologies, the company’s Human-First Agentic Platform is directly infused with the foundational AI technologies and visionary roadmap developed by renowned inventor and futurist Ray Kurzweil. This partnership provides the technology, trust, intelligence, and economic infrastructure for building AI experiences that keep people at the center of every intelligent interaction.

Introhive Makes Relationship Intelligence Available to Enterprise AI Through MCP

Published

on

By

Now generally available to all Introhive customers, the standards-based connection brings continuously updated relationship context into compatible AI assistants.

FREDERICTON, NB, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Introhive today announced the general availability of its MCP (Model Context Protocol) Server for all customers. The Introhive MCP Server gives firms a standardized way to connect their relationship intelligence to their AI infrastructure. Professionals can then query that intelligence directly, without switching systems or performing manual lookups, and without needing IT to build custom integrations.

Centralizing enterprise data is only part of the work. For firms building their own AI tools, the difficulty often emerges after the initial connection. Activity data must still be resolved to the correct people and companies, evaluated for relationship strength and recency, and kept current as interactions change. Without that work, an AI tool can be technically connected and still provide poor guidance. Introhive has built and continuously maintains that relationship-intelligence layer. The MCP Server makes it available to compatible AI assistants, agents, and internally developed applications.

Ask which contacts at an upcoming event are worth prioritizing. Find out which key account has gone quiet. Surface which colleague has the warmest path into a new client or expanded opportunity. Or help a firm’s own AI tool assess whether a proposed client introduction is actually warranted — instead of guessing from CRM fields nobody has updated in months.

Most firms are deploying AI without access to one of their most valuable assets: the context around firm-wide relationships. The signals exist across emails, calendars, contact histories and individual experience. Raw activity alone cannot tell an AI tool whether it has identified the correct person, how strong or current a relationship is, or who within the firm has the most credible path forward.

The Introhive MCP Server Advantage

For more than 14 years, Introhive has refined its approach to capturing, validating, and scoring those relationship signals. The platform goes beyond who knows whom; it evaluates factors including the recency, frequency, reciprocity, breadth, and depth of interactions across the firm, then organizes them into a continuously updated, firm-wide relationship graph.

Because MCP is an open standard, firms using the MCP Server can make the same relationship-intelligence layer available to multiple compatible tools rather than rebuilding a separate connection each time their AI environment changes. Unlike a custom API that locks relationship intelligence to a single tool, the MCP Server is model-agnostic by design: the graph doesn’t depend on which AI assistant wins next year, because it was never built into just one of them.

AI Can’t Drive Growth Without Relationship Context

As AI assistants become a more common interface for professional work, the quality of their answers increasingly depends on the intelligence underneath them. For professional services firms, relationships are central to winning new business, expanding client work and protecting important accounts.

The shift toward AI does not reduce the value of those relationships. It raises the cost of not having accurate relationship context available when growth decisions are made.

“I’ve watched enterprise technology evolve since the 1990s, but the shift now underway is more fundamental,” said Lee Blakemore, CEO of Introhive. “The way professionals interact with data and systems has been revolutionized, and the interface is wherever the professional happens to work, which means the intelligence layers underneath it create the value. Relationship intelligence is one of those foundational layers. A meaningful AI strategy must tap into the strength, reach, and trajectory of client relationships. Introhive’s MCP Server provides a secure, compliant, and portable way to make that intelligence available to compatible AI tools at the moment it’s needed. For organizations adopting AI responsibly, this is the infrastructure that helps them do so securely.”

Availability

The Introhive MCP Server is now generally available to all Introhive customers, expanding beyond the legal-sector commercial preview introduced in April 2026.

NEW YORK, Aug. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — In a significant step towards strengthening India–United States collaboration in science, technology and innovation, the Amity Global Research Hub (AGRH) was inaugurated at the Consulate General of India, New York, on August 21, 2026, under the theme “Shaping the Future through Emerging Technologies.”

Amity Global Research Hub Launched in New York to Strengthen India–US Research and Innovation Partnerships

The launch marks the beginning of an international research platform envisioned to bring together academic institutions, researchers, industry, innovators and other stakeholders from India, the United States and the wider global ecosystem. The initiative aims to facilitate collaborative research, promote knowledge exchange and create new pathways for innovation and technology-led solutions to global challenges.

The inauguration also witnessed the unveiling of the AGRH website and research brochure, followed by panel discussions focusing on multi-sector partnerships, research, innovation, emerging technologies, and opportunities for strengthening India–US collaboration. The discussions brought together distinguished representatives and academic and research stakeholders from institutions including Rutgers University, Georgia Institute of Technology, CUNY, Long Island University, Albert Einstein College of Medicine and the National Cancer Institute.

Speaking on the occasion, Dr. Aseem Chauhan, Chancellor, Amity University and Chairman, AGRH, highlighted the importance of creating globally connected research ecosystems that can address increasingly complex technological and societal challenges. AGRH is envisioned as more than an international academic presence. It seeks to function as a bridge connecting the research strengths, talent and innovation capabilities of India with the extensive academic, scientific, technological and entrepreneurial ecosystem of the United States.

The initiative comes at a time when emerging technologies are rapidly transforming economies and societies, creating both new opportunities and complex challenges. Technologies such as artificial intelligence, quantum technologies, advanced materials, biotechnology, healthcare technologies, cybersecurity, space technologies and clean and sustainable technologies increasingly require interdisciplinary and international collaboration.

Dr. Sandeep Mittan Director Amity Global Research Hub & Vice President Research and Development highlighted how AGRH will serve as a platform to foster international research partnerships and advance innovation through collaboration between India and the United States. This initiative will be the creation of opportunities for young researchers, students and innovators to participate in international research networks.

AGRH aims to contribute to this process by facilitating interactions among researchers and institutions and supporting opportunities for knowledge exchange and collaborative engagement. The Hub’s broader vision is to create meaningful opportunities not only for established researchers but also for emerging scientists, innovators and entrepreneurs.

The establishment of AGRH in New York provides access to one of the world’s most diverse and dynamic ecosystems of universities, research institutions, technology companies, healthcare organizations, investors, start-ups and global talent.

Prof. (Dr.) W. Selvamurthy, President, Amity Science, Technology & Innovation Foundation, emphasized the importance of collaboration in shaping the next generation of research and innovation. The multidisciplinary approach of AGRH is particularly significant as many of today’s major challenges cut across traditional academic boundaries. Addressing issues related to health, climate change, energy, advanced manufacturing, digital technologies and national and global security requires researchers from multiple disciplines to work together. The Hub therefore aims to facilitate an ecosystem in which ideas can move from research and discovery to innovation, technology development and societal impact.

Strengthening the India-US Knowledge Partnership : The launch of AGRH also comes against the backdrop of the expanding strategic relationship between India and the United States in science, technology, education and innovation. The initiative’s emphasis on multi-sector partnerships is particularly significant. Rather than limiting collaboration to academic institutions, AGRH aims to create connections involving research organizations, industry, innovators, entrepreneurs and other stakeholders.

The inauguration of AGRH represents an important milestone in Amity’s continued efforts to expand its international research partnerships and strengthen collaboration between India and the United States. The long-term ambition is to develop AGRH into a platform where global research partnerships can generate tangible outcomes-ranging from collaborative research and knowledge exchange to technology development, innovation, entrepreneurship and opportunities for the next generation of researchers.

With its launch in New York, the Amity Global Research Hub seeks to position itself at this intersection-connecting India’s growing research and innovation capabilities with global opportunities, and contributing to a future shaped by collaboration, technology and knowledge.
