Boston Global Forum Announces the Evolution of AIWS: From AI World Society to AI Wisdom Society
AIWS: World and Wisdom — A Beacon for the AI Age
Boston, May 11, 2026 — The Boston Global Forum today announces a significant evolution in the meaning and mission of AIWS.
Originally founded in 2017 as the AI World Society, AIWS was created as a vision for building a global society in which artificial intelligence serves humanity, peace, democracy, and human dignity.
Over the past nine years, AIWS has grown into a globally recognized initiative, influencing leaders, scholars, innovators, policymakers, and citizens around the world. Its ideas and frameworks—including the Social Contract for the AI Age, AIWS Government 24/7, AIWS Trust Infrastructure, and AIWS Lumina—have helped shape international discussions on the future of artificial intelligence and democratic governance.
As AIWS approaches its 10th anniversary in 2027, the Boston Global Forum is expanding and deepening this vision.
Building upon the strong global foundation established by the AI World Society, AIWS will place a renewed emphasis on Wisdom as the guiding principle for the next stage of its development.
Accordingly, AIWS now evolves into the AI Wisdom Society (AIWS).
This evolution preserves the trusted acronym AIWS while enriching the meaning of the letter W, which now represents both World and Wisdom.
- World reflects the global community of nations, institutions, leaders, innovators, and citizens working together to shape the future of artificial intelligence.
- Wisdom reflects the human insight, ethical judgment, cultural depth, reflection, and noble values required to guide artificial intelligence in service of humanity.
This is not a departure from the original mission of AIWS, but a natural and historic deepening of it.
“After nine years of global growth and influence, and as we prepare to celebrate the 10th anniversary of AIWS, we are building upon the strong foundation of the AI World Society and placing greater emphasis on Wisdom as the guiding force for the AI Age. The letter ‘W’ in AIWS now stands for both World and Wisdom,” said Nguyen Anh Tuan, Co-Founder, Co-Chair, and CEO of the Boston Global Forum and Founder of AIWS.
“AIWS began as the AI World Society. Today, it evolves into the AI Wisdom Society—affirming that artificial intelligence must serve the world and be guided by wisdom.”
The evolution to AI Wisdom Society reflects a historic transition:
- From intelligence to wisdom.
- From technology to civilization.
- From global connection to global responsibility.
- From digital power to human dignity.
- From artificial intelligence to artificial intelligence guided by wisdom.
AIWS will continue to advance its established initiatives, including:
- AIWS Trust Infrastructure
- AIWS Trust Architecture
- AIWS Government 24/7
- AIWS Social Contract for the AI Age
- AIWS Lumina
- AIWS Information Trust Infrastructure
- AIWS Trust Order
- AIWS Film Park
- AIWS Angel
The new identity aligns closely with the vision of the book America at 250: A Beacon for the AI Age, co-authored by Michael S. Dukakis and Nguyen Anh Tuan, and with the continuing development of AIWS Trust Infrastructure and AIWS Lumina.
The Boston Global Forum will use the name AI Wisdom Society (AIWS) in future publications, programs, and initiatives, while honoring and expanding upon the founding legacy of the AI World Society.
