Among the fifty honorees of America 250: AI Pioneers is Dr. Eric Lander, one of the world’s most influential scientists and a pioneering leader in genomics, computational biology, and data-driven science.
Dr. Lander played a central role in the Human Genome Project and helped establish the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard as one of the world’s leading research centers.
His work transformed our understanding of the human genome and demonstrated how computation, data science, and biology can converge to accelerate scientific discovery and improve human health.
Because Dr. Lander could not attend the May 1 ceremony at Harvard University’s Loeb House, BGF Co-Chair Nguyen Anh Tuan later presented the recognition to him at the Broad Institute.
In his tribute, Nguyen Anh Tuan stated:
“Dr. Lander’s work reminds us that the true power of science lies not in discovery alone, but in its capacity to uplift humanity.”
Dr. Lander stands among the most important scientific leaders helping shape the convergence of biology, computation, and artificial intelligence in the 21st century.

One of the most anticipated moments of Interop Tokyo 2026 will be a special dialogue between Vint Cerf, widely recognized as a Father of the Internet, and Nguyen Anh Tuan.
The discussion will explore:
- The future of Information Trust
- Deepfakes and information manipulation
- Trustworthy AI systems
- Democratic digital ecosystems
- The AIWS Trust Order as a new foundation for trust in the AI Age
- Building Trust Infrastructure for a Free and Open Indo-Pacific
The session will connect the founding principles of the Internet with the emerging need for trust architectures capable of supporting AI-powered societies.
It also honors the enduring legacy of Shinzo Abe, whose vision of a Free and Open Indo-Pacific continues to inspire democratic cooperation in the AI Age.

The book America at 250: A Beacon for the AI Age, co-authored by Governor Michael S. Dukakis and Nguyen Anh Tuan, has moved rapidly from vision to implementation.
Following its launch at Harvard University’s Loeb House, key ideas from the book are now being translated into institutional frameworks through:
- AIWS Trust Infrastructure
- AIWS Trust Order
- The Tokyo Compact
- AIWS Information Trust Infrastructure
Interop Tokyo 2026 marks the next step in transforming ideas into institutions for the AI Age.

As artificial intelligence becomes a powerful creator and distributor of content, the Boston Global Forum affirms that human responsibility must remain the governing principle of all AI-generated communication.
AI may assist in generating content, but responsibility remains with the humans who direct, publish, distribute, or act upon it.
The Boston Global Forum therefore affirms:
Human Responsibility
Every AI-generated output must remain under clear human responsibility.
Transparency
The involvement of AI should be openly disclosed whenever appropriate.
Human Ownership
The key issue is not AI itself, but the responsibility and judgment of the humans behind it.
Ethical and Legal Accountability
Those who create or distribute false, deceptive, or harmful content must be accountable for its consequences.
Human-in-Command
AI must remain under meaningful human oversight and must never override human dignity, human rights, or human life.
Trust Infrastructure
The AI Age requires systems for authentication, provenance, verification, and accountability.
Global Cooperation
Governments, businesses, civil society, universities, and technology leaders should work together to establish practical frameworks for responsible AI-generated content.
The Boston Global Forum will continue advancing these principles through:
- AIWS Trust Infrastructure
- AIWS Information Trust Infrastructure
- AIWS Trust Order
- AIWS Lumina
Trust is not the enemy of innovation. Trust is the foundation of innovation.

BGF introduced the ‘AI Assistant’ name and concept in 2019 at the Social Contract for the AI Age
