AI-Powered Activism: How the Oscar Media Exchange is Funding the Fight Against Pollution

Vancouver, March 17, 2025 – A new era of activism is here. Intuitive AI has launched the Oscar Media Exchange (OMX), a digital advertising network powered by Oscar Sort, the AI Recycling Assistant improving recycling in busy public spaces. OMX does more than expand Oscar’s reach—it helps fund climate action. By offering ad space and sharing revenue with organizations fighting pollution, OMX transforms waste disposal into a force for positive change.

"At Intuitive AI, our mission is to build AI for good and eliminate pollution across land, sea, and space. The Oscar Media Exchange is a new way to leverage technology for environmental impact, connecting brands, consumers, and advocacy groups in a single moment to drive measurable change. This program not only generates revenue but also turns advertising into a force for good," said Hassan Murad, CEO & Co-Founder of Intuitive AI.

One of the first organizations to benefit from OMX is the 5 Gyres Institute, a global leader in plastic pollution research and advocacy.

"For the past 15 years, 5 Gyres has used scientific research to drive upstream, measurable solutions to reduce plastic pollution. Partnering with Intuitive AI allows us to engage individuals at a pivotal moment—the point of plastic disposal—while also unlocking new revenue streams to advance our mission," said Sara Mais, Director of Development at 5 Gyres.

Turning Advertising into Action

OMX is redefining digital advertising as a tool for environmental progress, enabling brands to engage sustainability-conscious audiences while directly funding initiatives that drive measurable impact. Through this model, Intuitive AI is supporting 5 Gyres by:

  • Expanding Awareness – Providing pro-bono advertising on Oscar's interactive digital displays, generating billions of impressions in brand-safe environments to amplify 5 Gyres’ message.

  • Funding Research – Allocating up to 4% of OMX ad revenue to support 5 Gyres’ research and advocacy work.

  • Reducing Waste & CO2 Emissions – Expanding Oscar’s footprint through digital advertising revenue, increasing recycling rates, reducing landfill waste, and cutting carbon emissions—equivalent to removing up to 20 cars’ worth of CO2 annually.

Join the Movement

Intuitive AI is transforming how brands, advertisers, and nonprofit organizations collaborate to fight pollution. Companies looking to make a real impact can turn their ad spend into sustainability investments through OMX, ensuring their message contributes to measurable environmental progress.
