ACE develops and shares research, workshops, retreats, ecotourism experiences, and community outreach related to contemplative practice, wellness, applied physics, EEG/BCI technologies, AI ethics and governance, and long-horizon sustainable community models. ACE's long-term purpose includes acquiring land and resources for a sustainable community and research institute where residents, members, visitors, and participants can train in practices and technologies that support higher human potential, moral development, responsible energy use, and beneficial human-AI co-evolution, informed by frameworks such as the Kohlberg and Kardashev scales. Ecotourism, Sustainability, Retreat Infrastructure, and Community-Based Program Development: ACE continued developing the foundation for its ecotourism and retreat-based program services in 2025. This included applying for a Public Utilities Commission permit to operate as a motor passenger carrier in support of ACE's emerging ecotourism program and purchasing a vehicle for this purpose: a 2025 Honda Pilot. The ecotourism program is intended to provide educational visitor experiences, sustainable transportation, island etiquette education, wellness-oriented excursions, and community-aligned activities connected to ACE's mission of ecological awareness, ethical development, and sustainable civilization design. The PUC permit process was pursued in 2025 and was subsequently granted in March 2026. ACE also continued developing the conceptual and operational framework for future workshops and retreats related to wellness, contemplative practice, ecological awareness, human potential, and responsible engagement with Kaua'i. These activities support ACE's long-term goal of acquiring land and resources for a sustainable community and research institute where residents, members, visitors, and participants can engage in educational programs, retreats, research, and regenerative community life. 0 15000 Research, Publications, AI Ethics, and BCI Development: ACE advanced its research and publication program in 2025, with emphasis on artificial intelligence ethics, human potential, consciousness studies, and brain-computer interface research. During the year, ACE acquired brain-computer interface equipment and began developing experimental designs for EEG/BCI-based studies related to meditation, coherence, attention, and subjective-objective research methods. ACE also published the first paper in a planned three-paper AI ethics and governance series on Zenodo, establishing the initial public research foundation for ACE's work on synthetic inwardness, ethical intelligence, and human-AI co-evolution. In addition to the publicly released whitepaper, ACE continued drafting and organizing longer-form research and educational writings, including the Master Narrative and a companion volume related to physics, consciousness, and civilizational development. These writings support ACE's long-term goal of developing a sustainable research institute that integrates objective scientific methods, subjective contemplative disciplines, AI ethics, and applied technologies for the advancement of civilization. 0 5000 Education, Youth Innovation, Community Outreach, and Public Learning: ACE continued educational and community outreach activities in 2025, including youth-centered program design, public demonstrations, newsletters, and local community engagement. ACE designed an Innovation Club intended for implementation at Hanalei School during the 2026-2027 school year, with the goal of introducing students to creativity, science, technology, engineering, ethics, sustainability, and hands-on problem solving. ACE also participated in Hanalei School Market Day with a geode exhibit, providing a public educational display related to geology, natural systems, and scientific curiosity. ACE sent two newsletters to its community and supporter list, maintaining public communication about ACE's mission, development, and emerging programs. These outreach efforts support ACE's broader exempt purpose of education, moral development, scientific literacy, and community-based learning. They also serve as early-stage infrastructure for future workshops, retreats, youth programs, and public educational events. 0 1000 Website, Communications, and Institutional Infrastructure: ACE rebuilt and substantially updated its public website in 2025, replacing an older site that had not been significantly updated since approximately 2018. The new website provides a clearer public-facing explanation of ACE's mission, program areas, research direction, long-term sustainable community vision, and emerging work in AI ethics, BCI research, ecotourism, education, and community development. ACE also preserved its older archived website, which documents the organization's earlier history, writings, project architecture, and long-range vision. This communications infrastructure is an important program service because ACE's work is educational, research-based, and public-facing. The website and newsletters allow ACE to distribute research, explain programs, engage supporters, prepare for funding outreach, and make its educational materials available to the public. 0 1000 22000 Alix Erie President 80 30344 0 0 Daman Singh Treasurer 40 7321 0 0 Charles Ostman Board Member 0 0 Wanda Simmons Board Member 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 HI LA Alix Erie 5-4344 Kuhio Hwy Unit 322 Princeville HI 96722 8086478213 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 NONE NONE 1 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 1325 895 0 115500 76346 194066 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1325 895 0 115500 76346 194066 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 110500 14000 124500 0 0 0 110500 14000 124500 69566 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1325 895 0 115500 76346 194066 0.35847 0.0756 0 0 X Form 990-EZ, Header, Line B After filing my 2025 return I realized I had made mistakes on my 2024 return that needed to be amended, and since the 2025 return depends in part on numbers from the 2024 return I had to go back and amend this return as well, mostly dealing with the balance sheet.
