SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary at Davos: GPS Jamming and AI Cyber Threats Now Converge

SandboxAQ CEO Jack Hidary said at the World Economic Forum in Davos that GPS jamming, GPS spoofing, and AI-enabled cyberattacks describe a connected set of risks for critical systems. He linked the topic to concerns about how resilience is handled when threats overlap.

In remarks to The National, Hidary said GPS interference and AI vulnerabilities no longer acted as separate concerns. He described them as overlapping challenges that required unified resilience.

Hidary cited reported GPS disruption events and discussed how jamming could affect aircraft systems. He also linked GPS disruption to a parallel AI threat, saying, “Large language models are also a vector of cyber attack.”

SandboxAQ said it addressed the two areas with AQNav and AQtive Guard. AQNav used the Earth’s magnetic field for resilient positioning, navigation, and timing in GPS-denied environments, and AQtive Guard unified AI security with cryptographic posture management.

Forward-looking statements were not included beyond references to the WEF 2026 Global Risks Report warning that technological risks were anticipated to worsen in severity over the next decade.
