The company’s new WiliBot GenAI chatbot opens a portal between the physical world and artificial intelligence. By allowing “things to talk,” businesses and consumers can ask questions about – and have conversations with – the myriad products connected to the ambient Internet of Things.

Wiliot, the ambient Internet of Things (IoT) pioneer, announced today the launch of WiliBot, a generative AI (GenAI) chatbot that enables natural-language conversations with any ambient IoT-connected product. When the power of generative AI is combined with this enormous source of real-time ambient physical world data, companies – and eventually consumers – can have important conversations with the products they make, source, distribute, and ultimately purchase.

With WiliBot, companies will be able to converse with their products and supply chains by asking questions such as: What’s the shelf life of this product? How did it get to the store? Which product should I stock next, and why? Is this product safe to stock, and why? What is the carbon footprint of this product, and why is it so low or so high? 

“Ambient IoT and generative AI are increasingly symbiotic technologies,” explained Wiliot CEO Tal Tamir. “Ambient IoT generates vast amounts of data about trillions of everyday things, and GenAI can uniquely make sense of all that data. On the flipside, GenAI learns by analyzing vast amounts of data. To a real extent, that data has so far been finite, but ambient IoT presents massive new physical world datasets that a GenAI platform like WiliBot — and others — can use to describe products, materials, supply chains, and everything connected to the internet.”

Wiliot’s Ambient Data Platform uses stamp-sized, self-powered IoT Pixels affixed to products, packaging, containers, crates, pallets, and more. These IoT Pixels communicate via Bluetooth information such as location, temperature, humidity, and carbon footprint to the Wiliot cloud where businesses analyze the data.

Wiliot-developed AI and machine-learning algorithms can then identify supply chain “events” and automatically generate alerts or AI responses that allow business to course-correct or optimize their operations, like when sensing that shipments of produce or pharmaceuticals have been handled at unsafe temperatures.

“Although Wiliot’s work in generative AI is relatively recent, the company has long been a pioneer in artificial intelligence and machine learning for deriving insights into ambient IoT data,” Tamir continued. “As more companies have begun rolling out Wiliot’s Ambient Data Platform, we’ve been asked how GenAI capabilities might make the transformation even easier. Our answer is WiliBot, the real-world combination of ambient IoT and AI.”

Wiliot will begin piloting WiliBot with key enterprise customers starting immediately, with a broader rollout scheduled for late 2024 and into 2025. During this piloting phase, WiliBot will be used by businesses seeking to ask questions about their ambient IoT-enabled products and supply chains.

In the future, this convergence of ambient IoT and generative AI will be made available to consumers in-store and at-home through an ecosystem of mobile apps – enabling consumers to speak to and converse with their products to better understand their carbon footprint, materials composition, ethical sourcing compliance, quality and safety, and more.

“Wiliot’s Ambient Data Platform already allows companies to gain unprecedented intelligence about trillions of products,” Tamir concluded. “Now more businesses – and in the future consumers – will be able to ask about and easily understand everything about those products. With WiliBot, we’re answering the question, ‘What if your products could talk?’ Now they can, in natural language, thanks to WiliBot.”

WiliBot is built on top of a leading large language model (LLM) to combine the breakthrough capabilities of ambient IoT with GenAI computational power to usher in a new era of supply chain visibility.

The importance of the linkage between ambient IoT and AI has been recently borne out in projects with leading food retailers. In the projects, the Wiliot Ambient Data Platform revealed that food shrink accounts for roughly 5 percent of goods in the food chain – food that is lost, damaged, or spoiled before it reaches store shelves. 

The Wiliot platform is able solve two-thirds of these food shrink issues – ensuring a safer food supply, higher customer satisfaction, and lower costs – while WiliBot will now democratize access to these insights across the organization.

Wiliot will demonstrate WiliBot and its Ambient Data Platform at MWC Las Vegas 2024, October 8-10, in West Hall Booth 910. The company will also offer insights on the convergence of ambient IoT and artificial intelligence in its October 9 session, titled “5G Advanced Release 19: Transforming Industries with Ambient IoT and AI.”

Expanded security solutions feature behavioral analytics for threat detection and response and ability to enforce security policies in the cloud and the local area network via Zero Trust Network Access (ZTNA)

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (NYSE: HPE) today announced the expansion of its security-first, AI-powered networking portfolio with the introduction of behavioral analytics-based network detection and response (NDR) capabilities, delivered by HPE Aruba Networking Central.

The company is also enhancing its cloud-based universal ZTNA approach by extending its reach to campus-based local area networks. This new local edge capability brings the same access control policies defined for the cloud directly to campuses and data centers, delivering a superior user experience and consistent enforcement regardless of a user’s location or connection method.

The new NDR solution leverages telemetry from HPE Aruba Networking Central’s data lake to train and deploy AI models to monitor and detect unusual activity in vulnerable IoT devices that play an increasingly important role in supporting mission-critical business processes. As the opportunity grows for IoT to provide organizations with data to train and activate Generative AI models, so too does the critical need to detect changes in network traffic patterns, connection status or dynamic device attributes that are indicative of a successful compromise.

“Enterprises are increasingly realizing that unsecured IoT devices in the network present an observability blind spot in their security solutions. Those devices can be exploited for initiating larger network attacks, and thus are also one of the largest contributors to a growing attack surface,” said Jon Green, chief technology and security officer, HPE Aruba Networking. “In addition, as security teams increasingly rely on the network to deliver zero trust security solutions, HPE Aruba Networking is providing the ability to leverage a single access control policy for application resources, on-prem or off-prem, that customers can adopt to reduce overlapping and potentially confusing controls.”

Also, to accelerate threat response, HPE Aruba Networking Central combines attack detection with new policy recommendations to protect against threats by intercepting potential attacks. To ensure recommendations will not disrupt network operations, teams can also preview changes to their security policies before implementation as part of their enforcement and response workflow.

“Companies need AI-powered behavioral network detection and response, universal security policies, and edge-to-cloud enforcement to protect users, devices, and applications at scale  a key consideration as AI assets throughout the enterprise increasingly become attack targets,” said Maribel Lopez, founder and industry analyst at Lopez Research.

These new tools further expand HPE Aruba Networking’s security portfolio, following the new solutions unveiled at the RSA Conference in May, which included AI-powered security observability and monitoring capabilities within HPE Aruba Networking Central, and the company’s first SSE firewall-as-a-service. Also at the conference, HPE Aruba Networking was recognized for one of the “Coolest Cybersecurity Products at RSAC 2024.”

HPE Aruba Networking Central and HPE Aruba Networking SSE will be on display at Black Hat USA 2024, taking place August 7-8, 2024, at booth #1160. In addition, HPE will be showcasing secure compute management and Zerto rapid air-gapped recovery solutions that complement network security controls for comprehensive protection against cyber threats like ransomware.
