Artificial Intelligence & Communication Technologies (AICT) has secured a Gold Medal at the International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, in recognition of its advances in Physical AI systems and data security, according to official event disclosures.
The award highlights AICT’s work on a privacy-aware on-device intelligent computing framework designed to strengthen data protection in environments powered by Physical AI. The system focuses on processing sensitive information directly on devices rather than in centralised systems, reducing exposure risks while maintaining high-performance AI capabilities in real-world deployments.
The innovation integrates multimodal sensing and edge-based intelligence, enabling AI systems to analyse environmental and operational data locally. This approach is aimed at supporting applications such as smart city infrastructure, intelligent transport systems, and urban monitoring networks, while ensuring stronger safeguards around personal and system-generated data.
The International Exhibition of Inventions of Geneva, one of the world’s most established innovation showcases, brings together over a thousand inventions annually from more than 30 countries, providing a competitive global platform for emerging technologies.
According to Dr Jun Yan, Chairman and Chief Innovation Officer of AICT, the recognition reflects the company’s long-term strategy of embedding security at the core of Physical AI systems.
“Data security is not an add-on; it is a foundational requirement for the future of intelligent infrastructure,” he said, noting that the growing integration of AI into physical environments demands stronger privacy-preserving architectures.
AICT stated that its technology has been explored in large-scale urban environments, particularly in areas requiring real-time decision-making and secure data handling across distributed AI networks.
