Windward AI has been selected by Prefectura Naval Argentina ( PNA ) to enhance maritime domain awareness with Predictive Intelligence .
The Universidad de Las Américas is pioneering the world ’ s first AIpowered course taught completely by AI teachers .
Windward will also augment the PNA ’ s internal systems and integrated assets with data and insights to allow them to monitor , analyze and interpret maritime data from areas of interest in real time .
Windward ’ s platform , integrated into the Coast Guard System , will optimize the process of making informed decisions , preventing illicit activities and efficiently responding to any potential threats .
Digital human teachers developed by Otermans Institute possess a human-like appearance and voice , allowing them to seamlessly interact with students using voice and text inputs .
After the successful public launch of the world ’ s first digital human teacher in 2023 , the Otermans Institute ( OI ) has rolled out its AI-powered teachers in universities and institutions across 4 continents – including Universidad de Las Américas .
“ This collaboration sets an example for other agencies worldwide who are looking to embrace technological advancements to get a comprehensive and real-time operational picture for maritime security and sustainability ,” said Ami Daniel , Co-founder and CEO of Windward .

PARAGUAY
Marathon Digital Holdings continues its international expansion with a 100 % renewably powered Bitcoin mining project in Paraguay
The project , developed by POWERCHINA , is in Mauriti , a municipality in the northern state of Ceará .
Upon completion and commissioning , the project is expected to create more than 2,000 jobs and generate cumulative economic growth valued at $ 140 million .
TrinaTracker has a smart tracker manufacturing facility in Brazil and full regional service teams .
Marathon entered into an agreement with Penguin Infrastructure Holding to launch a Bitcoin mining project near Paraguay ’ s Itaipu Dam which has an installed generation capacity of 14 gigawatts and is the second largest hydroelectric dam in the world by annual production .
Fred Thiel , Marathon ’ s chairman and CEO , said :
“ This project marks our first into Latin America .
TrinaTracker says the project order ‘ once again ’ highlights the strong reputation of the brand in Latin America – where Brazil is the most promising PV market because of the fast-growing demand for installed PV capacity driven by a range of incentives and local policies .
“ Paraguay produces approximately 32 terawatt hours of surplus energy per year , which results in lower productivity for the utility and for the country .
“ Bitcoin miners have the unique ability to co-locate at sources of power that are producing excess energy – like the Itaipu Dam . We believe this project may serve as an excellent case study for the value Bitcoin mining can bring to regions with excess power .”
