Creating AI.
Delivering water impact.
FIDO AI acts on global water loss so that mankind can act on water scarcity.
AI Water Impact: Our founding mission
In 2018, as drought ravaged the globe, physicist Neil Edwards and former concert pianist Victoria Edwards, had a brilliant idea. They would harness the power of AI to respond to one of the world’s most pressing challenges: water scarcity.
Combining their skills in programming and acoustics, Neil and Victoria created FIDO AI to analyze sound in water pipes and use it to hunt down leaks.
Today, FIDO AI correctly identifies over 92% of leaks, transforming mankind’s potential to reduce water loss, and helping to forge new catalytic communities of stakeholders to improve water resilience. Neil continues to drive our pioneering spirit as FIDO’s Chief Technical Officer while Victoria uses her powerful voice on the world stage to champion technology-led impact programs as our Founder Emeritus.

The evolution of FIDO AI
The first ever FIDO
1
FIDO began as a small AI data collection tool - a Free Intelligent Domain Observer – placed inside water mains. But the power of its multi-layered algorithm soon outpaced the need for pipe insertion.
2
Having been trained on tens of thousands of verified leak and non-leak data points from water utilities, all it needed was good quality data to deliver instant, accurate leak / no leak decisions.
3
Soon FIDO was able to size leaks and locate them exactly using the very same data. This ground-breaking ethos continues with every new AI model we release.
Water technology for the many
Water is essential for life, livelihoods, global security, and social mobility. It’s a vector of value for the businesses which power our economies. Continued access to affordable, reliable supplies is in all our interests, all the time.
FIDO Tech’s vision is to become the world’s leading most-accessible AI for reducing water loss at scale and for empowering joint action on water scarcity.
That means harnessing the power of FIDO AI to help anyone reduce losses from pipeline networks, and help coalitions of stakeholders deliver rapid, measurable improvements in equitable water resilience.
