Statement on the Saigon International University (SIU) Prize Computer Science Award Ceremony and the SIU Shaping Futures International Conference

Ho Chi Minh City, January 11, 2025
Saigon International University (SIU)

Today, at The Saigon International University (SIU) Prize Computer Science Award Ceremony and the international conference SIU Shaping Futures on “AI for a Better World,” SIU Prize Laureates, SIU Prize Candidates, speakers, scientists, and participants join SIU in calling on governments, the business community, and academic institutions worldwide to collaborate and work toward realizing the AIWS Government 24/7 and Boston Areti AI (BAI) model.

In 2025, marking the 50th anniversary of Vietnam’s reunification, this effort also represents a milestone contribution from Vietnam to the world—demonstrating how principles of innovation, collaboration, and ethical AI can be harnessed to benefit global society.

Through this collective vision, we aim to shape the future of AI in ways that foster continuous governance, ethical innovation, and greater well-being for all, while liberating the human mind, body and spirit from the tedium of tasks that inhibit creativity and true flourishing. As SIU strives to accompany and contribute to the development of these transformative models, we invite leaders, policymakers, researchers, and industries to partner with us, ensuring that AI-driven governance remains both principled and human-centered.

Shaping Futures on “AI for a Better World”

SIU’s commitment to pioneering research, inclusive education, and ethical AI practices underscores our dedication to nurturing the next generation of global innovators. By building the AIWS Government 24/7 framework and implementing BAI, we believe nations can deliver more responsive public services, ensure transparency, and ultimately create a better world through responsible AI integration.

A Call to Action

We encourage all stakeholders—governments, academic institutions, technology companies, and civil society organizations—to unite under this shared mission:

  1. Collaborate on research, development, and policy frameworks that uphold ethical standards and prioritize the public interest in AI.
  2. Invest in scalable infrastructure, human capital, and interdisciplinary studies to propel continuous AI innovation.
  3. Champion transparent, accountable, and inclusive AI governance that respects human dignity, ensures equitable access, and fosters global cooperation.

With perseverance and unity, we believe that together, we can shape an even brighter future — one where AI is harnessed for the benefit of all humanity.
