SEALSQ lays down AIoT strategy for future of connected intelligence

Posted on by

SEALSQ has announced its entry into the AI chip market, underscored by its AIoT (Artificial Intelligence for Internet of Things) strategy, which seamlessly merges the power of AI with the expansive potential of IoT technologies. The move positions SEALSQ at the cutting edge of technological innovation, where the convergence of AI and IoT is set to drive digital transformation and reshape industries.

While IoT has been around for several years, recent technological advances, including better connectivity, cloud computing, machine learning, artificial intelligence, related analytics, and low-cost sensors, have significantly accelerated its adoption. However, with the surge in data volumes, challenges have arisen in absorbing, interpreting, and making informed decisions from this data. AI enables technical systems to perceive their environment, solve problems, and act to achieve specific goals. Essentially, AI allows machines to understand existing scenarios, address issues, and implement solutions autonomously.

The core of SEALSQ’s AIoT strategy is the integration of advanced semiconductors, smart sensors, AI technologies, and a comprehensive data cloud. This fusion creates a holistic platform designed to not only foster innovation but also ensure the success and efficiency of digital transformation initiatives for its customers. AIoT acts as the brain that powers the nervous system of the network of IoT objects operating within the SEALSQ Ecosystem, which currently secures over 1.6 billion IoT devices secured with SEALSQ VaultIC. 

With the introduction of 5G, this ecosystem is poised for even more rapid growth, as 5G will enable the connection of every object, person, and machine. AIoT will embed AI into the core infrastructure components of the ecosystem, including Root of Trust, semiconductors, and edge computing. Specialised APIs provide interoperability between components at the device, software, and platform levels, optimising system and network operations.

SEALSQ’s vision extends far beyond the current capabilities of AIoT. Its Moonshot Development Plan is set to revolutionise AI’s power and capabilities by integrating cutting-edge, comprehensive post-quantum chips into mainstream computing, AI research, and everyday technologies by 2028. The move isn’t just about maximising AI efficiency—it’s about ensuring ultra-security in a post-quantum era.

SEALSQ’s goals include achieving a 50-time improvement in AI training and inferencing times. By leveraging quantum computing, SEALSQ aims to break existing barriers in AIoT performance, enabling faster and more efficient IoT processing. It also intends to ensure 99.999 percent quantum-resistant security for all AI operations. SEALSQ is leading the charge in quantum-resistant security, ensuring that AI-driven technologies remain secure against emerging quantum threats. It also looks to integrate SEALSQ chips into 70 percent of AI-driven technologies. From home automation to autonomous vehicles, SEALSQ’s post-quantum chips will power the future of AI-driven innovations.

Among the strategic initiatives, SEALSQ has prescribed Quantum AI Accelerator which collaborates with top AI research institutions globally to utilise SEALSQ’s quantum speedup in advancing AI research and development. It also seeks to deliver ultra-secure quantum networking by partnering with telecom providers to replace classical data transfer with quantum networking, ensuring ultra-secure communication channels, and offering quantum-optimised industry solutions by working with vendors across industrial automation, automotive, and home automation segments to introduce quantum-enhanced products, leading to smarter cars, more efficient factories, and homes that learn and adapt faster than ever.

SEALSQ also plans to form a global quantum security alliance of technology companies, cybersecurity agencies, and governments to set standards for post-quantum security, ensuring a unified approach to future challenges. It also intends to bring about the quantum sensing revolution by collaborating with hardware and tech companies to integrate quantum-enhanced sensors into everyday technologies, resulting in highly accurate and sensitive devices.

By 2028, SEALSQ’s ‘moonshot vision’ is to create a world where AI, powered by quantum technology, is exponentially more efficient, secure, and integrated into every aspect of our lives. Through our unwavering commitment to innovation and collaboration, we aim to make this vision a reality. As quantum computing ushers in a new era of technological evolution, SEALSQ will be at the helm, guiding the integration of AI, IoT, and quantum technologies to redefine what is possible in our connected world.

Generative AI technology, another essential element of SEALSQ’s strategy, further enhances the ecosystem’s learning capabilities, allowing autonomous IoT devices to operate with unprecedented precision. Whether navigating complex environments like self-driving cars or personalising user experiences in smart homes, Generative AI optimises functionality and adaptability. 

The market for AI in cybersecurity is intricately linked with IoT, encompassing applications such as fraud detection and network security. By integrating AI, these systems can recognize potential threats more effectively, enhancing overall security and resilience.

Looking toward the future, the growth of IoT is undeniable. According to the IoT Analytics ‘State of IoT—Spring 2023’ report, “The number of global IoT connections grew by 18% in 2022 to 14.3 billion active IoT endpoints.” This trend is expected to continue, with forecasts predicting around 29 billion IoT connections by 2027. The combination of AI and IoT offers a powerful synergy—while IoT enables devices to communicate over the internet, AI empowers these devices to learn from their data and experiences. Many businesses have already begun incorporating AI and IoT into their processes and products, recognizing the transformative potential of this combination.
