As part of the Shinzo Abe Initiative for Peace and Security, Nguyen Anh Tuan and Yasuhide Nakayama advanced work on the Shinzo Abe Film during discussions at the National Diet of Japan on March 28, joined by Professor Tomohiko Taniguchi, one of the closest interpreters of Abe’s vision and statesmanship. The meeting focused on preserving and presenting the deeper historical meaning of Shinzo Abe’s leadership for Japan and the world.
That effort continued on March 31, 2026, when Nguyen Anh Tuan delivered a distinguished keynote at LDP Headquarters in Tokyo in a two-hour program introduced by Kenji Wakamiya and Yasuhide Nakayama. In his speech, “Japan as a Global Leader in AI Trust,” Tuan linked Abe’s legacy to the challenges of the AI Age, arguing that Japan should lead not only in innovation, but in trust, responsibility, and democratic resilience. He presented the AIWS Trust Architecture, AIWS Trust Rating, AIWS Trust Index, and AIWS Trust Infrastructure as practical pathways for Japan today. Together, the Diet discussion on the film and the LDP keynote reflected a shared purpose: to honor Shinzo Abe’s legacy while contributing ideas and strategies for Japan’s leadership in a new era.

In the Age of Artificial Intelligence, as the world moves faster than ever, human beings need moments to become still, to nourish the spirit, and to preserve the noble values of the heart.
Muc Nhan Tea Essence contributes to building Tea Soul Culture for the AI Age — accompanying the effort to shape the AIWS Trust Infrastructure and the AIWS Trust Architecture for a trustworthy future for humanity.
Tea Soul Culture begins with a symbolic act: holding Muc Nhan Tea Essence in the mouth in stillness. In that moment, the fragrance and taste of tea lead the human being into inner depth, inviting reflection on noble values and on the path that AIWS has opened and continues to build together with humanity.
Muc Nhan Tea Essence brings warmth and calm, helps the mind settle, supports concentration, and nurtures a state of inner peace and clarity. In that stillness, people can more deeply experience gratitude, compassion, and the creative energy that arises from within.
Muc Nhan Tea Essence is also proud to accompany the book America at 250: A Beacon for the AI Age — a work that offers vision, strategy, and solutions for building a better, more trustworthy, and more humane future in the AI Age.
Together with the noble values of AIWS, Muc Nhan Tea Essence helps nourish the spirit and the beautiful heart within each person.
Tea Soul Culture contributes to human happiness:
opening a path, and nurturing the spirit and the beautiful heart.

NASA’s Artemis II mission concluded successfully on April 10 with a splashdown in the Pacific Ocean off California at 5:07 p.m. PDT, ending an approximate 10-day journey around the Moon. The crew—Reid Wiseman, Victor Glover, Christina Koch, and Jeremy Hansen—returned safely after setting a new human-spaceflight distance record of about 252,756 miles from Earth. NASA says the mission’s lessons and data will help prepare the way for future Artemis missions and longer-term lunar and Mars exploration.
For AIWS, Artemis II is more than a space milestone. It shows that the future is shaped when frontier technology serves a larger human purpose: disciplined innovation, trusted institutions, international cooperation, and a long-range commitment to civilization. The U.S.–Canada crew and NASA’s careful test-and-learn approach reflect an idea central to AIWS: in the AI Age, progress must remain human-centered, trustworthy, and oriented toward shared advancement, not only speed or power. Artemis II reminds us that the next era of intelligence—on Earth and beyond—should strengthen humanity’s capacity to build, cooperate, and aspire together.

A new phase is emerging in frontier AI cybersecurity. On April 7, Anthropic launched Project Glasswing instead of broadly releasing Claude Mythos Preview, saying the model is its most capable yet and giving early access to defenders responsible for critical software and infrastructure. Anthropic said Glasswing includes major launch partners and more than 40 additional organizations building or maintaining critical software.
OpenAI is moving in a similar direction. OpenAI said in February that GPT-5.3-Codex is its most cyber-capable model to date, the first it is treating as High under its Preparedness Framework, and that it is piloting Trusted Access for Cyber so enhanced cyber capabilities are placed “in the right hands.” Axios then reported on April 9 that OpenAI is preparing a separate cybersecurity product for a small set of partners. From an AIWS perspective, these developments reinforce a central principle of the AI Age: the most powerful dual-use models cannot rely on open release alone. They require AIWS Trust Infrastructure and AIWS Information Trust Infrastructure for Democracy in the AI Age—with trusted access, accountability, verification, and governance to ensure advanced AI strengthens defense and human security rather than misuse and systemic risk.
