When a watch became an identity vault and what comes next
A decade ago, together with Bulgari, we did something no luxury watchmaker had tried. We turned a fine mechanical watch into a hardware root of trust.
The Bulgari Diagono Magnesium carried a WISeKey secure element and a cryptographic key inside the watch. You tapped it to your smartphone to unlock the BVLGARI Vault, an encrypted personal data organizer backed by our secure storage in the Swiss Alps. The watch was still 100% luxury and 0% gadget. It was also a trusted digital identity on your wrist, with a roadmap toward payments, access control, and opening doors, cars and homes.
This video describes the concept: https://t.co/p0CLHpGAh7
The world has now caught up with that idea, and our technology has moved much further. Today the WISeKey and SEALSQ ecosystem brings together:
Post-quantum secure semiconductors from SEALSQ, so the identity inside the watch stays safe even against future quantum attacks.
WISeKey's Swiss Root of Trust, securing digital identities for people and objects.
Blockchain-anchored authenticity, giving every timepiece an unforgeable digital birth certificate.
Satellite connectivity through https://t.co/hlrfZKc1Lx.
We now want to bring all of this together in a next-generation https://t.co/M5rkjrlnX6, a Swiss timepiece that works as a quantum-resistant identity vault for its owner. This video shows what we have in mind and if you are a swiss watch manufacturer and wants to team with us please send us a request
I’m pleased to be presenting on AI governance at the MIT Media Lab’s 40 + 40 celebration in Boston this October.
As we look toward the next 40 years of technology, the question is not only what AI will be able to do. It is how we ensure people can trust it, understand who is accountable, and remain in control of decisions that affect their lives.
This is also the purpose of Human-AI-T by @WISeKey : bringing people together to shape an AI future grounded in human rights, trust, and shared responsibility. I look forward to bringing that conversation to MIT and sharing how digital identity, provenance, and secure infrastructure can turn governance principles into practice.

Here’s a more fluid version centered strongly on the paradox:
THE AI PARADOX: The people building the most powerful AI systems are increasingly warning us about the risks of the very technology they are racing to make more powerful.
This may be one of the defining paradoxes of our time.
The companies at the frontier of AI development are telling governments and society that increasingly capable models could be used for sophisticated cyberattacks, manipulation and attacks against critical infrastructure. AI leaders are taking these concerns directly to the United Nations and calling for stronger safeguards and international cooperation.
And yet, development continues to accelerate.
Why?
Because no company wants to slow down while its competitors continue. No country wants to pause while another gains technological advantage. And perhaps the greatest paradox of all: one of the proposed defenses against dangerous AI is to build even more powerful AI capable of detecting, supervising and stopping it.
We are therefore entering an extraordinary cycle:
We build more powerful AI → it creates new risks → we build even more powerful AI to defend against those risks → which creates the need for even stronger safeguards.
So the fundamental question is no longer whether AI development will continue. It will.
The question is whether trust, governance and human control can evolve as fast as AI itself.
This is at the heart of WISeKey’s HUMAN-AI-T initiative.
We believe AI supervising AI will become necessary—but it cannot become an endless chain of machines supervising machines.
At the top of that chain must remain a verifiable human Root of Trust.
AI systems and autonomous agents should have cryptographically verifiable identities. Their critical actions should be auditable. Supervisor AI should independently monitor more powerful models. Escalation and emergency mechanisms should remain available. And ultimately, accountability must lead back to humans and institutions—not disappear inside an algorithm.
The objective is not to stop AI.
It is to make sure that our capacity to trust, authenticate, supervise and control AI grows at least as quickly as AI’s capacity to act autonomously.
Perhaps that is the real technological race we should be focused on.
We are racing to make AI more powerful. We must now race just as hard to make it trustworthy.

🔹 Accelerate quantum and post-quantum innovation
🔹 Connect public financing with private-sector investment
🔹 Use SPACs, stock-exchange listings and other capital-market instruments to finance deep-tech growth
🔹 Create integrated industrial ecosystems linking research, technology, manufacturing and commercialization
🔹 Strengthen cooperation between governments, entrepreneurs, investors and global corporations
A central theme was our vision for a Quantum Highway connecting Spain, France, Switzerland and the United States—combining their respective strengths in quantum computing, semiconductor design, cybersecurity, satellite communications, artificial intelligence, research and financing.
This Quantum Highway is not simply a geographical corridor. It is an interconnected sovereign technology ecosystem capable of moving innovation from the laboratory to industrial production and global markets.

Why Quantum Security Matters for Formula 1 and High-Performance Sports
Formula 1 is much more than speed. It is one of the world’s most sophisticated real-time digital ecosystems—where cars, sensors, teams, factories, cloud infrastructure and communications networks continuously exchange mission-critical data.
That makes F1 a powerful example of why post-quantum cybersecurity matters.
From telemetry and vehicle-to-pit communications to intellectual property, AI-driven simulation, authentication of devices and protection of sensitive engineering data, the integrity of every digital interaction is critical. As quantum computing advances, today’s cryptographic systems will increasingly need to transition toward quantum-resistant security.
This is where @SEALSQCorp post-quantum semiconductor and security technologies can play an important role: bringing security down to the hardware level, establishing trusted identities for connected devices, protecting data and communications, and creating a foundation for infrastructure designed for the quantum era.
And what is true for F1 extends far beyond racing—to autonomous mobility, aerospace, satellites, robotics, defense, industrial IoT and other environments where performance, security and trust must operate at full speed.
