About Helixis Technology
Helixis Technology is developing participation infrastructure that connects local intelligence, human authority, and intelligent systems across shared environments.
Twyla Jackson founded Helixis Technology after participating in NASA's Technology Transfer ecosystem, where mission assurance and responsible deployment raised a fundamental question:
If complex missions require evidence, accountability, and authorization, why should intelligent systems enter shared human environments without equally serious consideration of the people and places they affect?
That question became the foundation of Helixis. Today, the company's work connects deployability readiness, local intelligence, human agency, and participation infrastructure — building toward a future where increasingly capable machines operate within clear, locally established conditions.
Our Journey
The Helixis story began in 2023 through NASA's Technology Transfer program. Helixis Technology was formally established as a company in 2025.
Human Agency
As intelligent systems become more capable, communities should not lose their ability to understand, influence, or challenge what happens in the places they share.
Helixis was founded on the belief that technology must operate with legitimate authority, meaningful human oversight, and accountability. LOCI extends that commitment by creating opportunities for people to access relevant information, contribute local knowledge, and stay connected to changes affecting their environments.
Authority structures must remain intact as systems scale. Decision-making power must be traceable to human institutions.
Communities deserve transparency about how automation enters shared environments.
Workers and institutions should experience automation as a capability enhancement, not a replacement.
Human oversight must be structural. Institutions must retain the power to deny, pause, reroute, or revoke autonomous participation.
Technology should serve communities. Communities should not have to surrender control to technology.
