ABU DHABI, United Arab Emirates--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Burkhan World Investments (BWI), a leading investor in next-generation technologies, strongly supports President Donald Trump’s renewed focus on advancing border security, as outlined in his inaugural address. BWI is proud to stand behind the innovative AI-driven solutions developed by one of its portfolio companies, Blaize, which are poised to transform the way national borders are monitored and secured.
Shahal Khan, Founder of Burkhan World Investments, shared his alignment with the incoming administration, commenting: “Border security is one of the most pressing national issues, and it’s clear that a new approach is required—one that integrates cutting-edge technology to tackle today’s challenges. We are excited to support AI-powered solutions that not only enhance security but also optimize efficiency in real-time monitoring and decision-making.”
He continues, “We are at a tipping point where AI is no longer just a tool but an essential part of our national security infrastructure. By backing this cutting-edge technology, BWI is supporting a solution that doesn’t just meet today’s needs—it anticipates tomorrow’s challenges. This is how we build smarter, safer borders.”
Supporting Trump’s Vision for Smarter, Safer Borders
Border agencies around the world are grappling with an increasing array of security threats, including illegal crossings, drug trafficking, and human smuggling. Despite decades of investment in traditional infrastructure and manpower, these challenges continue to outpace current solutions. Manual surveillance systems, although effective to some extent, often result in delays, inaccuracies, and gaps in coverage.
President Trump’s renewed commitment to border security emphasizes the need for modern, scalable solutions. This vision aligns perfectly with the capabilities of AI-powered technology, which can process vast amounts of data in real-time to detect and respond to threats.
This is where AI-powered technology enters the picture—bringing intelligence, speed, and predictive capabilities to the forefront of border security operations.
“President Trump’s leadership on this issue reflects the urgent need for innovation,” said Khan. “Our AI solutions align seamlessly with his border security vision. They will help agencies not only secure borders more effectively but also operate more efficiently, reducing the strain on resources and improving safety for citizens.”
AI: Revolutionizing Border Security
The proprietary Graph Streaming Processor™ (GSP) architecture at the heart of this advanced technology enables real-time data analysis and decision-making on a scale never before possible. Designed to operate in even the most remote and resource-constrained environments, this edge AI solution is transforming border security by providing authorities with:
- Real-Time Threat Detection: AI-driven systems process data from a range of sources—including cameras, drones, and ground sensors—to instantly identify and flag threats, enabling timely responses.
- Predictive Analytics for Preemptive Action: By analyzing movement patterns and behaviors, AI predicts illegal activities before they unfold, giving authorities a proactive advantage.
- Seamless Integration with Existing Systems: The technology integrates effortlessly with legacy systems, ensuring smoother collaboration between federal agencies, sharing intelligence, and enhancing operational efficiency.
Strategic Investments for the Future
The partnerships between BWI and its AI portfolio company represents a forward-thinking approach to addressing one of the world’s most complex challenges. BWI is committed to investing in technologies that solve critical problems and, importantly, harness the power of AI for good. The advancement of border security through AI is a powerful example of how private sector innovation can complement government initiatives.
BWI’s commitment to advancing the global importance of its AI portfolio was demonstrated earlier this month when Blaize (BZAI), a global leader in edge AI computing, successfully went public on January 14th, 2025 on NASDAQ. The listing was facilitated through BurTech Acquisition Corporation, a Special Purpose Acquisition Company (SPAC) owned by BWI with a valuation of $1.2 billion USD. This milestone positions Blaize as a key player in addressing critical national security challenges and marked the first AI IPO of 2025.
Khan concludes,
“BWI’s strategic investment in this cutting-edge technology is more than just financial—it’s about creating a lasting impact on national security. We are proud to be part of this revolutionary shift, ensuring that both public and private sectors are aligned in making our borders safer for future generations.”
