SandboxAQ joins the United Nations International Computing Centre's AI Hub as a founding member
SandboxAQ has joined the United Nations International Computing Centre (UNICC) as a founding member of its new AI Hub, which has been established to be the primary AI solutions provider and resource centre for more than 100 UN entities and other international organisations around the globe. 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UNICC will begin offering AI-enhanced cryptographic discovery services to identify any vulnerable cryptography (e.g., outdated or expired algorithms, keys and certificates) throughout a member organisation's entire IT infrastructure, including applications, networks, and filesystems.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'.
