SandboxAQ at World Economic Forum AM 2025: The Next Wave of AI

Business
February 11, 2025

The 55th Annual Meeting of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, convened global leaders to address today’s most pressing challenges under the theme Collaboration for the Intelligent Age. Throughout the week, SandboxAQ played a pivotal role in shaping discussions on AI—its rapid advancements, transformative potential, and far-reaching global impact.

Major Announcements: Expanding AI 

Partnering with Google Cloud to Scale AI Innovation

Ahead of Davos, SandboxAQ announced a strategic partnership with Google Cloud, bringing real-world quantitative AI solutions to the Google Cloud Marketplace. This collaboration will accelerate the deployment of Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) across industries, helping organizations harness AI for scientific discovery, advanced simulations, and complex problem-solving.

Advancing Cardiac Care with Mayo Clinic

We also announced our expanded collaboration with Mayo Clinic, which is conducting a clinical study to evaluate our CardiAQ magnetocardiography (MCG) device. This groundbreaking, AI-powered technology has the potential to revolutionize cardiovascular disease monitoring—for conditions such as ischemia and amyloidosis, for which traditional methods are suboptimal. Experience the future of cardiac care by exploring CardiAQ.

Optimizing Energy Systems with Saudi Aramco

In the energy sector, SandboxAQ is partnering with Saudi Aramco to develop a differentiable computational fluid dynamics (CFD) solver for oil and gas processing facilities. By applying our platform of Large Quantitative Models (LQMs) to simulate how gases and liquids interact, the license will enable Aramco to optimize operations, maximize efficiency and reduce emissions and waste—demonstrating LQMs’ growing role in sustainable energy innovation. To learn more about how LQMs are helping to power a clean energy future, watch our interactive demo.

Key Themes & Takeaways

The Future of AI: Beyond LLMs

A key theme at this year’s WEF discussions was the next wave of AI. SandboxAQ spearheaded the conversation on why organizations must move beyond the cost savings and process efficiencies of Large Language Models (LLMs) and embrace LQMs—quantitative AI designed to tackle complex real-world challenges. These advanced models are unlocking new value across industries such as healthcare, materials science, and national security.

SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary explored this topic in his article Why the Tech Sector Can't Build a Sustainable Ecosystem for Large Quantitative AI Models Alone, discussing the infrastructure, governance, and strategies needed to support the next wave of AI innovation.

AI Governance & Responsible Innovation

As AI adoption accelerates, governance and security have never been more critical. SandboxAQ actively contributed to discussions on AI policy, security frameworks, and the necessity of global collaboration to ensure AI systems remain ethical, secure, and effective.

WEF’s white paper AI Governance Alliance: Navigating the AI Frontier, featured insights from SandboxAQ’s Vice President of Engineering and lead scientist, Stefan Leichenauer. The paper explores how organizations can strike a balance between innovation and responsible AI deployment.

Cybersecurity & The Global AI Race

The convergence of AI, quantum technology, and cybersecurity was a key focus in Davos. With AI-powered cyber threats on the rise, the need for next-generation security solutions to safeguard critical industries, national security, and digital infrastructure has never been more urgent.

Our CEO, Jack Hidary, joined a panel of experts on CNBC India to discuss the global AI landscape and the pivotal role governments can play in addressing cybersecurity and AI-driven threats. Watch the full discussion below.
