Recent strategic and technology announcements have produced mixed reactions, with several positive-sentiment events selling off in the following session.

Recent Company History

Over the last few months, WISeKey reported multiple strategic milestones, including quantum-related acquisitions, satellite launches, and a detailed CEO year-end letter highlighting a $100 million Quantum Fund and strong cash levels of over $440 million as of Dec 19, 2025. Market reactions were inconsistent: the CEO letter and an India satellite partnership saw double- and high-single-digit gains, while satellite launches and deal announcements sometimes drew negative next-day moves. The new Human-AI-T manifesto at Davos extends this pattern of narrative- and strategy-driven news around AI, quantum, and security.

8 terms

artificial general intelligence technical

"accelerating advances in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Quantum Computing."

Artificial general intelligence (AGI) is a type of artificial intelligence that can understand, learn and perform a wide range of intellectual tasks at a level comparable to a human rather than being limited to one specific job. For investors, AGI matters because it could reshape many industries—boosting productivity and creating new markets while also introducing competitive disruption, regulatory responses and new ethical or safety risks that can materially affect company valuations and long-term returns.

agi technical

"accelerating advances in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Quantum Computing."

Adjusted Gross Income (AGI) is an individual’s total income from wages, investments and other sources after allowed deductions are taken, serving as the baseline number used to calculate federal income tax. For investors, AGI matters because it determines tax liability and eligibility for credits or deductions, which influences how much money people have to spend or invest and can affect after-tax returns and financial planning decisions.

quantum computing technical

"the Age of AGI and Quantum Computing"

Quantum computing is a type of advanced technology that uses the principles of quantum physics to perform calculations much faster than traditional computers. It can process vast amounts of information simultaneously, potentially solving complex problems that are currently impossible or take too long with regular computers. For investors, this technology could lead to breakthroughs in areas like cryptography, data analysis, and optimization, impacting financial markets and security systems.

ai systems technical

"As AI systems approach levels of autonomy and reasoning unprecedented in human history"

AI systems are computer programs that analyze data and make or assist with decisions, such as spotting patterns, predicting outcomes, or automating routine tasks. Think of them as digital assistants or factory robots that can learn from examples and improve over time. For investors, they matter because they can reduce costs, create new products or revenue streams, change competitive positions, and introduce operational and regulatory risks tied to accuracy, data use, and oversight.

transparency technical

"Transparency, explainability, auditability, and traceability are mandatory requirements for trustworthy AI"

Transparency is a company's habit of sharing clear, accurate and timely information about its finances, operations and risks so investors can see what’s really happening—like replacing frosted windows with clear glass. It matters because honest, well-timed disclosure reduces uncertainty, makes it easier to value the business, and lowers the chance of sudden surprises that can hurt a stock’s price or investor trust.

auditability technical

"Transparency, explainability, auditability, and traceability are mandatory requirements for trustworthy AI"

Auditability is how easily a company’s records, systems and transactions can be checked and verified by independent reviewers. Like a recipe with clear steps and labeled ingredients that anyone can follow to reproduce the dish, strong auditability helps investors trust that reported results are accurate, reduces the risk of hidden problems or fraud, and makes regulatory and financial reviews faster and more reliable.

traceability technical

"Transparency, explainability, auditability, and traceability are mandatory requirements for trustworthy AI"

Traceability is the ability to follow a product, component, or piece of data backward and forward through every step of its lifecycle, like reading a parcel’s tracking history to see where it came from and where it went. For investors, strong traceability lowers risk by making recalls, quality problems, and regulatory breaches easier and cheaper to manage, while boosting consumer trust, supply-chain efficiency, and the reliability of reported information.

data sovereignty technical

"Privacy, civil rights, and data sovereignty are protected as fundamental human rights"

Data sovereignty is the principle that digital information is subject to the laws and control of the country or entity where it is stored or processed. For investors, it matters because where data lives affects a company's legal obligations, costs, ability to sell services across borders, and exposure to government access or restrictions — like owning a house that must follow the rules of the town it sits in.

WISeKey and Partners Present the Human-AI-T Manifesto at Davos 2026 during the WISeKey Event

Ensuring Human Control, Trust, and Values in the Age of AGI and Quantum Computing

Davos, Switzerland, January 19, 2026 – WISeKey International Holding Ltd (“WISeKey”) (SIX: WIHN, NASDAQ: WKEY), a leading global cybersecurity, blockchain, and IoT company, today announces that in collaborations with its partners, gathered at the WISeKey Davos Event, will formally present the Human-AI-T (Human – Artificial Intelligence – Trust) Manifesto, a global framework designed to safeguard human sovereignty, trust, and ethical governance in the next era of intelligent systems. The WISeKey Davos 2026 event will be held on January 21, 2026, set against the backdrop of accelerating advances in Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Quantum Computing.

The Human-AI-T framework exists to ensure that technological intelligence evolves within a moral, legal, and cultural envelope defined by humanity itself. This manifesto asserts that human dignity, agency, and responsibility are non-negotiable invariants, regardless of technological progress.

As AI systems approach levels of autonomy and reasoning unprecedented in human history, and quantum technologies redefine computational power, the need for clear human-centric governance has become urgent and unavoidable.

The Human-AI-T Manifesto responds to this moment with a clear message: technology must remain subordinate to human values, human judgment, and human responsibility.

A Framework for the AGI and Quantum Era

The Manifesto establishes foundational principles to ensure that:

• Humans remain in control of AI systems, with meaningful oversight and decision authority
• AI supports human decision-making rather than replacing it, particularly in high-impact domains affecting life, rights, and security
• Human values are deliberately injected into AI algorithms, rather than assumed to emerge from data alone
• Prevention of harm is embedded by design, addressing risks to health, security, human rights, and environmental wellbeing
• Fairness and non-discrimination are enforced, ensuring AI treats all people equally and inclusively
• Transparency, explainability, auditability, and traceability are mandatory requirements for trustworthy AI
• Privacy, civil rights, and data sovereignty are protected as fundamental human rights
  
  

The Manifesto further calls for robust oversight, impact assessment, audit, and due diligence mechanisms to ensure AI systems do not conflict with human rights norms, democratic values, or planetary sustainability.

Trust as the Cornerstone of Digital Society

As stated in the Manifesto, the ethical deployment of AI systems depends on transparency and explainability. Trustworthy AI must be auditable, traceable, rigorously tested, and secure, especially as AGI and Quantum technologies dramatically increase scale, speed, and impact.

Human-AI-T positions trust not as an afterthought, but as a design requirement—essential to social acceptance, economic resilience, and geopolitical stability.

A Call to Global Responsibility

By presenting the Human-AI-T Manifesto in Davos, WISeKey and its partners call upon governments and international institutions, industry leaders and technology developers and academia, civil society, and standards bodies to adopt Human-AI-T as a shared global reference framework for governing AGI and Quantum technologies.

The Human-AI-T Manifesto marks a decisive step toward ensuring that the future of intelligence remains human-led, trustworthy, and aligned with the values that define civilization itself.

Key messages:

• Intelligence without ethics is not progress.
• Power without accountability is not innovation.
• Humanity must remain the measure of technology.
