Boston Global Forum Releases Landmark Governance Framework

AIWS Digital Asset Standards Initiative (AIWS-DASI)
A Blueprint for Ethical, Human-Centered Digital Civilization in the AI Age

Boston, Massachusetts — December 8, 2025 — The Boston Global Forum (BGF) today announced the release of the AIWS Digital Asset Standards Initiative (AIWS-DASI) Official Governance Whitepaper, a groundbreaking framework establishing global ethical, technical, cultural, and civilizational standards for digital assets in the AI Age.

Developed under the leadership of Nguyen Anh Tuan, Global Governance Architect, Co-Founder, Co-Chair, and CEO of the Boston Global Forum, and Creator of the AI World Society (AIWS), the whitepaper provides the first comprehensive model for ensuring that digital assets—whether created by humans, AI systems, or human–AI collaboration—serve peace, human dignity, cultural advancement, and democratic values.

A foreword by Governor Michael Dukakis, Co-Founder and Chair of BGF, underscores the global significance of this initiative:

“AIWS-DASI establishes the ethical and civilizational foundation for digital assets in the AI Age. It is essential not only for America’s 250th anniversary, but for the entire global community.”

A New Global Standard for Digital Assets

The AIWS-DASI Whitepaper defines a three-pillar governance framework:

1. Standards – Ethical and Technical Integrity

Ensuring trust, transparency, cybersecurity, and human accountability through mechanisms such as:

  • Proof-of-Ethics (PoE) Protocol
  • Blockchain provenance requirements
  • AI transparency documentation
  • No-exploitation and human rights safeguards

2. Quality – Intrinsic and Societal Value

Assets must demonstrate meaningful cultural, intellectual, or social contribution, evaluated using the AIWS Quality Index (AQI).

3. Values – Human-Centered and Civilizational Impact

All AIWS-certified assets must advance:

  • Human dignity
  • Cultural preservation
  • Social harmony
  • Peace and global cooperation

Establishment of the AIWS Digital Asset Standards Board (ADASB)

The whitepaper formally launches the ADASB, a global governance body composed of leaders in:

  • AI ethics
  • Blockchain and cybersecurity
  • Economics and finance
  • Culture and the arts
  • Peace, diplomacy, and human rights

The ADASB will certify assets, conduct audits, enforce compliance, and maintain the AIWS Global Ledger of Esteemed Digital Assets.

A Milestone for America at 250 – A Beacon for the AI Age

AIWS-DASI is a core pillar of the Boston Global Forum’s flagship initiative America at 250 – A Beacon for the AI Age, and will support new models of democratic governance, including AIWS Government 24/7.

Global Deployment Roadmap (2025–2028)

The whitepaper outlines a four-phase plan leading to international adoption:

  • Phase 1 (2025–2026): Standardization and ADASB formation
  • Phase 2 (2026–2027): Integration with the U.S., Japan, and EU
  • Phase 3 (2027–2028): Multilateral recognition through OECD, UNESCO, and G7
  • Phase 4 (2028): Launch of the AIWS Global Ledger
