From Agents to Embodiment: The Next Frontier in AI and Cybersecurity 

Posted on March 31, 2025 by Hongwen Zhang, PhD, CTO & Cofounder
No Gravatar

Introduction

At the recent NVIDIA GTC, CEO Jensen Huang outlined a compelling roadmap for AI development, marking the transition from today’s Generative AI systems to tomorrow’s Agentic AI and ultimately Physical AI. While current AI systems have already made an impact, particularly in language, image generation, and automation, the next stages of development promise deeper integration into enterprise workflows—and eventually, the real world.

Crucially, Generative AI is more than a new tool for digital tasks. It represents a novel way to compress, represent, and retrieve knowledge—an intelligence layer that accelerates the traditional flow of:

data → knowledge → intelligence → retrieval → application

This capability is reshaping how organizations approach digital transformation, providing a general-purpose interface to knowledge work across domains like coding, design, diagnostics, and customer service.

Agentic AI: Accelerating Digital Transformation

Agentic AI builds upon foundation models to create goal-oriented, semi-autonomous systems. These agents combine LLMs with memory, tool use, APIs, and sometimes access to real-time data. The result is a new kind of digital worker.

In the enterprise context, Agentic AI supports:

  • End-to-end process automation (e.g., triaging and resolving tickets, generating reports)
  • Smarter data analysis and summarization
  • Proactive workflows that monitor, adapt, and improve over time

These capabilities significantly enhance the ongoing digital transformation across sectors like finance, logistics, software engineering, and public services. While Agentic AI inherits limitations from its base models—like dependence on high-quality data and compute—it introduces a new layer of intelligence within the digital enterprise stack.

Physical AI: Embodied Intelligence in the Real World

The real paradigm shift comes with Physical AI—AI that interacts with the physical world through sensors, actuators, and real-time control. This demands more than inference; it requires robust simulation, decision-making under uncertainty, and secure action.

The foundation is already forming:

  • Digital twins (via Omniverse) simulate complex environments for training and testing
  • Cosmo-style agent frameworks support real-time reasoning and planning
  • Edge robotics and embedded AI systems bring cognition to industrial, healthcare, and logistics environments

This convergence—LLMs + 3D multi-physics simulation + robotics + sensors—is leading toward generalist, embodied AI systems that can safely operate in the real world alongside humans.

Cybersecurity: The Essential Foundation for the AI-driven World

As both digital and physical AI proliferate, the cybersecurity landscape must evolve. The complexity and scale of threats will rise—especially with AI-crafted attacks and exposed attack surfaces at the rapidly expanding network edges.

This is where innovations like WedgeARP™ will play an important role, delivering a cloud-managed, AI-powered platform that unifies networking and security—designed to secure the intelligent systems of the future.

Wedge’s Solution for the AI Driven-world: The AI Control Plane

the_ai_control_plain

Wedge’s orchestrated cloud/edge network management and security functions can deliver a powerful solution for securing the AI-driven world: the AI Control Plane. Unlike point solutions focused on endpoints or cloud gateways, the AI Control Plane is a centralized, policy-driven security orchestration layer—spanning from edge networks acting as sensors, feeding multimodal machine inputs into the ‘consciousness’ of high-IQ digital minds housed in superclusters.

This AI Control Plane enables:

  • Unified visibility and control over all AI data and model interactions across distributed systems
  • Real-time protection and anomaly detection for connected edge systems, autonomous agents, and digital twins
  • Enforcement of trust policies across devices, identities, and applications at the edge

By combining Deep Content Inspection with multi-tenant edge enforcement, the solution ensures that AI systems operate safely, within defined guardrails, and without compromise.

What Can Be Done? (With WedgeARP)

WedgeARP, with its patented Deep Content Inspection technology, real-time content classification inferencing ability, and cloud-edge orchestration that turn networks from the data transmission link into sensors for a Physical Ais, specifically addresses the real-world risks of model poisoning and prompt injection, providing enterprise-grade protection across the lifecycle of AI systems:

✅ 1. Data Sanitization and Validation

  • Real-time inspection of data, emails, APIs, and documents
  • Filters malicious or malformed content before it reaches training or inference systems

✅ 2. Training Data Provenance and Monitoring

  • Logs and traces all training data traffic at the edge
  • Enforces trusted data sources and flags abnormal ingestion behavior

✅ 3. Input/Output Filtering and Policy Enforcement

  • Sanitizes LLM inputs and retrieved content
  • Applies rules to prevent prompt injections via HTML, markdown, or system override tokens

✅ 4. Role-Based Isolation and Zero-Trust Enforcement

  • Enforces least-privilege access across AI agents, devices, and APIs
  • Prevents cross-agent tampering and unauthorized access to sensitive inference systems

✅ 5. Behavioral Anomaly Detection

  • Detects unexpected model behaviors in real time
  • Uses traffic profiles and inference logs to surface security risks
  • Automatically adjusts policies and logs events for compliance

Final Thought

Agentic AI is set to further accelerate the wave of digital transformation. Physical AI will reshape how we interact with and operate in the physical world. But both depend on a secure, intelligent, and real-time infrastructure to succeed.

From an investment perspective, we’ll see explosive growth in sensors, actuators, edge connectivity, and multi-physics modeling algorithms—driven by a deeper understanding of the physical world and enabling a new wave of technological iteration.

As we’ve seen with breakthroughs like AlphaFold, one of the areas poised for the greatest impact is healthcare. I’ve recently been impressed by friends working on multi-omics simulation platforms—leveraging AI and digital twin technologies to accelerate drug discovery. These innovations are collapsing the traditional “10 years and $2 billion” drug development cycle into something faster, more precise, and more personal.

The future is exciting. But as technology moves forward, we must stay sharp—physically, mentally, and operationally—to fully benefit from the AI-driven world.

And WedgeARP is contributing to that foundation—bringing security and safety to the edge, in the cloud, and across the AI lifecycle. We seek your partnership as we build toward this exciting future.

ARC-AGI and the Compression Hypothesis of Intelligence

Posted on March 23, 2025 by Hongwen Zhang, PhD, CTO & Cofounder
No Gravatar

A close friend of mine came across the recently published “ARC-AGI Without Pretraining” (March 2025) and shared it with me yesterday. The paper offers a refreshing and elegant demonstration of an idea many of us in AI have long believed:

Intelligence is compression.

The authors demonstrate that a small neural network, trained from scratch during inference, can solve ARC reasoning puzzles — a widely recognized benchmark for Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) — by compressing input-output examples into a compact, generalizable rule. No pretraining. No prior memory. The model achieves ~34% on the evaluation set — not yet deployable, but it learns on the job. And that’s significant.

This paper helped me connect some dots.

In our experience, we’ve seen that pretrained LLMs, while trained on general-purpose language tasks, can still perform remarkably well in downstream security applications like spam detection — even without task-specific fine-tuning. This ability to generalize beyond their original scope offers a glimpse into the broader adaptability we associate with emergent general intelligence.

It also brought me back to 2016, when we launched WedgeARP — our “Absolute Real-time Protection” platform — in partnership with Cylance. It achieved extraordinary detection rates against never-before-seen malware, using real-time AI instead of static signature databases. It was ahead of its time — and not easy to promote.

We quickly faced deeper challenges:

  • The scale: more than half a million new malware emerge every day.
  • The need for speed: to stay ahead, we had to “compress” knowledge quickly.
  • And longer-term, we knew we’d face concept drift and catastrophic forgetting.

In response, we published a 2022 paper (IEEE Xplore) focused on tackling scale and speed.
Our contribution: a training and inference architecture for ANN-based malware detection that could continuously retrain and converge within 9 hours, enabling us to respond daily to the evolving threat landscape.

While that paper didn’t address concept drift or catastrophic forgetting — both of which we tackled in follow-up work — it laid a foundational capability:

A system capable of keeping up with the world by learning continuously, reasoning quickly — particularly as a real-time network security system for malware prevention.

Now, with advanced research from vibrant communities like ARC-AGI, we’re seeing confirmation of something we’ve believed all along:

The future of intelligence lies in adapting quickly, learning continually, compressing structure effectively — and reasoning in real time — whether it’s for puzzles, language, or malware detection.

This is what had me writing on this quiet Sunday morning — reflecting on the long path from early real-time systems to the emerging frontiers of AGI.
