Tokyo 2026: Building Trust Infrastructure for the AI Age
A Report on the Historic Outcomes of Interop Tokyo 2026
SUBMITTED BY BOSTON GLOBAL FORUM ( BGF) · AI WISDOM SOCIETY ( AIWS)
Your Excellency,
We are honored to report the successful convening of the Boston Global forum – AIWS Conference at Interop Tokyo 2026 on June 12, 2026. Held at Asia’s most historic and influential technology conference, the event brought together distinguished leaders from government, academia, technology, security, business, and civil society to address one of the defining challenges of our time: how humanity can build trust in increasingly capable and self-improving artificial intelligence systems.
The conference marked a historic transition:
From discussion to implementation. From principles to institutions.
From vision to action.
The conference resulted in five major achievements.
The founding Keynote Address, “Building Trust and Wisdom Infrastructure for Humanity,” presented a comprehensive framework for Trust Infrastructure in the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
Japan publicly affirmed its readiness to help lead the development of Trust Infrastructure for Humanity through the remarks of Yasuhide Nakayama.
The Tokyo Compact was officially proclaimed as the founding Constitutional Charter of the AIWS Trust Order.
The AIWS Trust Order and its founding Board were established.
The first practical implementation pathway for AIWS Trust Infrastructure in Asia was launched through cooperation between Vietnam Report and the Boston Global forum, under the strategic leadership of Yasuhide Nakayama.
The conference highlighted Japan’s unique capacity to contribute to the governance of the AI Age. Building upon Japan’s leadership in advancing a free and Open Indo-Pacific, the conference demonstrated Japan’s potential role as a leading architect of Trust Infrastructure for the Age of Artificial Intelligence.
The proclamation of the Tokyo Compact in Tokyo, and the launch of implementation initiatives connecting Japan, Vietnam, ASEAN, and the broader Indo-Pacific, represented important first steps toward this vision.
The conference also reflected the continuing leadership of the United States in shaping the future of democratic innovation and responsible technology. The participation and intellectual contributions of distinguished American leaders — including Governor Michael S. Dukakis, Vint Cerf, Alex Pentland, Thomas Patterson, and Tarun Khanna — reinforced the role of the United States as a source of innovation, democratic values, and institutional leadership in the AI Age.
The principles embodied in the Tokyo Compact are deeply aligned with the values of freedom, responsibility, human dignity, and democratic governance that have long helped shape the American experience.
One of the most important outcomes of the conference was that implementation began immediately. On the same day that the world was called to move beyond discussion:
- The Tokyo Compact was
- The AIWS Trust Order was
- Its founding Board was
- The first implementation pathway for AIWS Trust Infrastructure in Asia was
This achievement reflects a central message of the conference:
The time has come not merely to discuss trust.
The time has come to build it.
The Boston Global forum and AIWS respectfully seek continued cooperation with leaders in Japan, the United States, and partner nations to advance:
- AIWS Trust Infrastructure
- AIWS Information Trust Infrastructure
- AIWS Trust Standards
- AIWS Trust Rating (ATR)
- AIWS Trust Index (ATX)
- AIWS Lumina
We believe that trustworthy artificial intelligence will require not only technological innovation, but also enduring institutions, trusted partnerships, and shared democratic values.
Interop Tokyo 2026 demonstrated that humanity can act before crisis. That trust can become infrastructure. That wisdom can guide power. And that democratic societies can work together to shape the future of Artificial Intelligence in service to humanity.
Respectfully submitted,
Governor Michael S. Dukakis
