Abstract
Software is transcending digital screens to shape the physical world, connecting cyber instructions to real-world outcomes. We are entering a new cyber-physical age that can bring great benefits for humanity: interactions like bioprinting medicines from an online file, tasking an embodied AI agent to run errands for us, or outsourcing an experiment to a self-driving lab are nearly within reach.
Yet, without the right trust infrastructure, we risk every interaction to incur a steep ‘trust overhead’, making it slower, costlier, and less certain or worse, not happen at all.
The solution is a new trust infrastructure that extends formal security reasoning into the physical world. This will unlock trillion-pound cyber-physical markets and a society free to trust everything, everywhere.
