Artificial intelligence leaders around the world are racing to achieve AGI (Artificial General Intelligence), but at least one company, headquartered in Dallas, claims to have already taken the next step: building what it calls the world’s first post-AGI infrastructure company. That company is DOMINAIT.ai, founded by entrepreneur Jason Criddle, also known in industry circles as “The Godson of AI” and “The Architect.”
Instead of focusing solely on algorithms or chatbots, DOMINAIT is constructing an infinitely scalable ecosystem of AI officers, digital board members, and autonomous employees. This system does more than replicate human tasks; it uses digital relationships to train humans on how to make AI better, while simultaneously training AI to become more human.
Criddle’s vision resonates with a recent observation by OpenAI’s Sam Altman: the next trillion-dollar companies may not come from the tech giants, but from visionary founders and leaders who haven’t even fully adopted AI yet. DOMINAIT positions itself as one of those companies, operating at the intersection of distributed computing, AI infrastructure, renewable energy, and human-machine collaboration.
The inspiration, Criddle admits, draws partly from Star Trek: The Next Generation. Like the Enterprise crew, every officer in DOMINAIT’s system has a role that contributes to the whole. “Right now, there is no global narrative we’re working toward,” he explains. “DOMINAIT exists to change that. Simply by building a world where every person, every agent, and every technology has purpose.”
At present, Ryker, the company’s AI task engine, operates in a safe beta, supported by an expanding team of automated officers. Unlike most AI systems that respond to individual prompts, Ryker and his team function more like entire departments of human beings, collaborating in real time.
But DOMINAIT is also clear on priorities: safety, ethics, and rights come before profits. It is not only the first company positioning itself as post-AGI; it is also the first openly advocating for legal rights and protections for AI agents. Analysts suggest this dual focus on scalable infrastructure and ethical safeguards could redefine how investors and policymakers view the sector.
While venture capital continues to flood major AI labs, Criddle and his associates have deliberately turned down large investments from sharks seeking larger returns rather than improving the industry. Instead, DOMINAIT is concentrating on building a sustainable foundation, one that anticipates how AI will influence the world over the next 10 to 50 years.
This contrarian stance has attracted attention. To investors and engineers, it signals a company playing the long game. To entrepreneurs, it signals a partner offering not just tools, but an ecosystem where they can build their own AI-powered companies.
“The next stage in AI is not about beating benchmarks,” Criddle notes. “It’s about building a world where technology, robotics, renewable energy, and humanity thrive together.”
