SandboxAQ joins the United Nations International Computing Centre's AI Hub as a founding member
The UNICC is the largest strategic partner for digital solutions and cybersecurity within the United Nations system. Leveraging SandboxAQ's AQtive Guard unified encryption management platform, the UNICC will begin offering AI-enhanced cryptographic discovery services to identify any vulnerable cryptography (e.g., outdated or expired algorithms, keys and certificates) throughout a member organisation's entire IT infrastructure, including applications, networks, and filesystems. These insights will enable constituents and partners to upgrade their cryptography to meet emerging and future threats, including AI- and quantum-based attacks.
'Over the last five decades, UNICC has continually expanded the diverse technology services designed for the UN family, including fostering strategic partnerships with trusted partners like SandboxAQ to develop state-of-the-art solutions', said Sameer Chauhan, Director, UNICC. 'Leveraging SandboxAQ's innovative quantum, AI and cybersecurity solutions, we're pleased to welcome them as a founding member of the UNICC AI Hub and share their expertise with our partners'.
The UNICC AI Hub's focus and mission
The new UNICC AI Hub will serve as a center of excellence for AI deployment within the UN system and other international organizations, gathering best-in-class experts, partners, knowledge, solutions and capabilities to help constituents and partners accelerate positive impact around the world. The AI Hub will provide expertise and training on a broad range of predictive, generative and quantitative AI solutions that are UN-tailored, battle-tested, cost-effective, secure and compliant. The AI Hub and members such as SandboxAQ will assist with setting up and scaling AI projects, ensuring robust data integrity, ethical compliance, optimal model performance, and measurable results.
In addition to cybersecurity services and solutions, SandboxAQ will collaborate with the UNICC to roll-out additional quantitative AI solutions powered by Large Quantitative Models (LQMs). These solutions will drive breakthroughs in complex system modeling, post-quantum cryptography, predictive analysis, and other areas related to the Sustainable Development Goals, such as clean water, good health and wellbeing, climate action, and affordable clean energy.
'As AI continues to fundamentally transform all aspects of our daily lives and the global digital economy, we applaud the UNICC's bold step to create a one-stop shop where all UN agencies and affiliates can find the AI expertise, resources and solutions they need to protect themselves from cyber attacks and affect positive change on a global scale', said Stefan Leichenauer, VP Engineering of SandboxAQ. 'SandboxAQ is incredibly proud to be a founding member of the UNICC's AI Hub, and we look forward to helping its members tackle some of society's biggest challenges'.

India PM Modi likely to meet Trump in US next month, newspaper reports
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is likely to meet President Donald Trump during a visit to the US next month to attend the UN General Assembly meeting, the Indian Express newspaper reported on Wednesday, citing sources. India's foreign ministry did not immediately respond to a request for comment. An Indian official familiar with the matter said a decision has not yet been taken, and that countries usually reserve slots for the General Debate at the assembly, which is why India's "head of government" features in a provisional list of speakers on September 26. "The list will go through revisions," the official said, adding that it had not yet been decided if Modi would be going to the assembly. The General Assembly kicks off on September 9, but the debate, the annual meeting of heads of state and government, will be held from September 23-29. Although the reason for the potential visit will be to attend the UN meeting in New York, a key objective will be to hold talks with Trump and iron out trade and tariff issues that have led to some souring of ties between the two countries, the newspaper reported. News of a possible Modi trip to the US comes days after Trump announced an additional 25 per cent tariff on Indian goods to penalise New Delhi for continuing to buy Russian oil. The penalty took the total levy on Indian goods exported to the US to 50 per cent, among the highest levied on any US trading partner. Trade talks between New Delhi and Washington collapsed after five rounds of negotiations over disagreement on opening India's vast farm and dairy sectors and stopping Russian oil purchases. On Tuesday, US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent said several large trade agreements were still waiting to be completed, including with Switzerland and India, but New Delhi had been "a bit recalcitrant" in talks with Washington. Bessent told Fox Business Network's "Kudlow" he hoped the Trump administration could wrap up its trade negotiations by the end of October. "That's aspirational, but I think we are in a good position," he said, adding "I think we can be, we will have agreed on substantial terms with all the substantial countries."
