The Lumina Declaration Responding to Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas

Welcoming and responding to Pope Leo XIV’s first encyclical, Magnifica Humanitas, Nguyen Anh Tuan’s Lumina Declaration on Human Dignity – For Humanity in the AI Age outlines seven action programs to build trustworthy, humane, transparent, and accountable AI for humanity.

The Declaration calls for:

  • building AIWS Trust Infrastructure,
  • advancing AIWS Information Trust Infrastructure,
  • implementing AIWS Lumina as a cultural architecture for humanity,
  • advancing the AIWS Trust Order,
  • convening high-level dialogues with governments and technology leaders,
  • mobilizing the America 250: AI Pioneers for Humanity,
  • and launching implementation pathways across the United States, Europe, Japan, Vietnam, ASEAN, and the Global South.

A key milestone will take place at Interop Tokyo 2026 and the National Diet of Japan on June 12, where BGF-AIWS will discuss practical implementation of AIWS Trust Infrastructure and launch the AIWS Trust Order Board.

As the Declaration states:

“The time for action is now. Humanity cannot wait. The decisive decade has already begun. The architecture of the next civilization is now being written.”
