The Artificial Intelligence World Society Initiative (AIWS) was founded and announced by Governor Michael Dukakis and Nguyen Anh Tuan in November 2017 as a means of counteracting harmful and unethical uses of AI, and building the 7-layer model of the AI World Society, a foundation for the Age of Global Enlightenment.
The AI World Society Innovation Network (AIWS.net) was established on December 12, 2019 by Governor Michael Dukakis, Internet pioneer Nguyen Anh Tuan, M.I.T. professors Nazli Choucri and Alex Pentland, Harvard professors Thomas Patterson and David Silbersweig, and Northeastern University professor Christo Wilson.
This effort is sponsored by the Boston Global Forum, Michael Dukakis Institute, the Government of Massachusetts, and MIT, and mentored by distinguished thinkers such as the father of Internet Vint Cerf, father of Bayesian networks Judea Pearl, father of soft power theory Joseph Nye, and by former presidents and prime ministers who are members of the World Leadership Alliance-Club de Madrid.
AIWS.net is a network of distinguished innovators and scholars to build AI World Society (AIWS) and the United Nations Centennial Initiative – the Age of Global Enlightenment.
