Initiatives
AI Factory
Data has become the “new oil” to power AI disruption. Enterprise customers of all sizes and across all markets are facing the same AI model training data shortage, preventing them from building truly impactful and scalable AI Agent solutions (aka “the last mile challenge”). The market requires the development of an “AI Factory” offering, which provides: i) procured and structured data representative of the entire industry that can be COMBINED with company-specific data for training and ii) an AI ecosystem that makes it capital & time efficient to produce AI Agents to solve commercial problems. Sciath AI, Inc. (“SAI”) is a single purpose vehicle (“SPV”) Applied AI Platform Company established to aggregate and integrate a group of best-in-class AI products & services into the industry’s first customer aligned, vertical market AI Factories. SAI has partnered with the leading enterprise customers in six market verticals to design this AI factory offering vs. their specific requirements; positioning it to become the de-facto platform for intelligent automation.
Defense & Security
SG believes historic protective barriers have become vulnerable as a result of globalization and the push for economic productivity. More and new protection is needed from evolving threats. New protection requirements digital, physical, personal, enterprise and national- have generated new markets. Any security lapses are unacceptable. Transformation is being driven through the expansion of IOT, advancing autonomy and location-based technologies into our everyday lives; and expanding analytical capabilities, such as sensor fusion, that enable gleaning insights from previously incomprehensible/disparate data sources. And all these new capabilities need new, automated methods of protection.
SG is actively investing in security & defense “as a service” technology companies with focus on intelligence, cyber security, autonomous robotics, sensors and platforms and supply chain security capabilities. One of the more significant opportunities coming out of the recent rapid globalization trend is security of critical assets, from intellectual property in software to personal identity to physical protection of supply chains and critical infrastructures. The global critical infrastructure security market size is estimated to exceed $1 Trillion by 2025, and companies with applicable products and services that can be leveraged across both commercial and government markets are positioned to surpass the more traditional government-dependent, weapon system focused companies. SG most recently funded an acquisition company, Sciath UAS (www.sciathuas.com) to aggregate and integrate a group of best in class, complementary, remote sensing hardware and software products & services into a “dual-use”, end to end Intelligent Sensing as a Service (“ISaaS”) solutions company.
Cyber
SG believes Cyber is the most important domain of the 21st century. Nations & Enterprises fight daily proxy battles of IP theft, spying for political, military and economic advantage etc. Facing the growing number of criminal actors having cyber capabilities and the ever increasing and uncertain threats in cyberspace, Nations & Enterprises are now investing heavily in both offensive and defensive cyberwarfare capabilities. These investments are being made to (i) protect vital information, (ii) defend critical infrastructure, (iii) deter would-be attackers by having powerful offensive cyber capabilities and (iv) disrupt the development of new nuclear capabilities or like conventional weapons of mass destruction by adversarial and rogue nation state using offensive cyber weaponry, as evidenced by the well-known Stuxnet cyber offensive initiative. As a result, demand for new cyber warfare tools and technologies represents a large and rapidly growing $100B + global market opportunity. Further, the acute demand for next generation cyberwarfare capabilities within the US and its Five Eyes intelligence alliance partners has been enhanced recently by the acknowledged compromise of all existing US cyberwarfare tools by adversarial nation states.
SG is actively investing in “Cyber as a Service” technology companies leveraging AI to provide highly automated turn-key offensive & defensive cyber operations.
Advanced Manufacturing
The Future of Manufacturing is NOW thanks to Sciath aiM, Inc. (“AIM”) (www.sciathaim.com), a pioneering company harnessing the power of Artificial Intelligence to revolutionize manufacturing. AIM’s AI enabled software empowers ALL manufacturing operations to achieve:
Unmatched Quality: AI-powered inspection systems proactively detect defects, ensuring unwavering excellence.
Unparalleled Productivity: Intelligent automation optimizes production lines, eliminates bottlenecks, and maximizes output.
Unbeatable Profitability: Reduced waste, improved efficiency, and faster time-to-market result in significant cost savings and exponential profits.
Digital Media
SG has founded and funded AS1 to serve as its platform company to become the guardian of digital content. Whether you are an artist, an influencer, or just a parent protecting your children, there has never been more concern around Personally Identifiable Information (PII), which in the age of AI now must include a person’s image, voice, derivative likenesses, and digital work. As deepfakes abound, exploiting the famous and the young, it has never been easier to use proprietary media in ways that are both unintended and unpaid. AS1 leverages advanced cyber defensive, machine learning, and artificial intelligence to protect your PII. If you are a creator of proprietary media, AS1 will maximize your income from that media. Ultimately, we seek to rebalance the multi-trillion dollar (USD) digital social, sharing and streaming economy, putting more money and control in the hands of those human beings who power it.
Smart Industry
Currently valued at $66.67B and expected to reach $152.31B by 2028, Smart Industry market companies leverage disruptive technologies (e.g. AI/ML, Analytics, Autonomy & Blockchain) to enable cyber-physical systems to monitor the physical processes of the system (or factory etc.) and make decentralized decisions. The physical systems become Internet of Things, communicating and cooperating both with each other and with humans in real time via the wireless web. Sciath targets funding companies and projects which include the following characteristics:
- Interoperability — machines, devices, sensors and people that connect and communicate with one another.
- Information transparency — the systems create a virtual copy of the physical world through sensor data in order to contextualize information.
- Technical assistance — both the ability of the systems to support humans in making decisions and solving problems and the ability to assist humans with tasks that are too difficult or unsafe for humans.
- Decentralized decision-making — the ability of cyber-physical systems to make simple decisions on their own and become as autonomous as possible.
SG most recently funded a technology holding company, Sciath IO, focused on licensing technologies and acquiring companies that accelerate traditional companies digitally transform their business models.
