On December 26, 2025, Khanh Hoa University convened a thematic seminar titled “Khanh Hoa Proudly Contributes to Building an Artificial Intelligence Society with the World”—a timely academic forum aligned with national and provincial priorities on science and technology development, innovation, and international integration in education and training. Held in Lecture Hall 1, the event gathered university leadership, heads of training programs, faculty members, and a large number of students to discuss how Khanh Hoa can strengthen its role in shaping an AI-enabled future grounded in knowledge, responsibility, and global cooperation.
The seminar featured Nguyen Anh Tuan, Co-Founder, Co-Chair, and CEO of the Boston Global Forum (BGF), as the keynote speaker. In opening remarks, Mr. Van Ngoc Sen, Secretary of the Party Committee and Chairman of the University Council, underscored the workshop’s practical significance amid rapid digital transformation and deepening international integration. He reaffirmed Khanh Hoa University’s ambition to become a “smart and green” institution—accelerating digital transformation, promoting scientific research and entrepreneurship, expanding STEM/STEAM education, and strengthening international partnerships to develop high-quality human resources for the Fourth Industrial Revolution.
Highlighting the academic and real-world value of the book “Artificial Intelligence Society: 30 Years of Vietnam–US Partnership, from Nha Trang to Boston (1995–2025)”, Mr. Van Ngoc Sen praised the work for documenting milestones of cooperation while inspiring innovation, creativity, and civic aspiration. He also expressed appreciation for Nguyen Anh Tuan—a son of Khanh Hoa—for connecting global knowledge networks, advancing human-centered AI values, and motivating younger generations to contribute to local development.
Through dialogue and presentations, the seminar aimed to deepen understanding of AI, innovation, and international collaboration, and to encourage faculty and students to engage confidently in Khanh Hoa’s development journey as part of the AI World Society (AIWS) vision. In his remarks, Nguyen Anh Tuan highlighted how Khanh Hoa helped nurture his ideas and talents that later shaped the AI World Society (AIWS) model, and he expressed his deep, enduring gratitude to Nha Trang–Khanh Hoa, his beloved hometown. He emphasized that Khanh Hoa can contribute to the AI Age not only by adopting technology, but also by cultivating talent, strengthening ethical foundations, and building an open, globally connected academic ecosystem.
The seminar concluded with a shared sense of purpose: to promote learning, research, and innovation; to strengthen international cooperation; and to affirm Khanh Hoa University’s role in training high-quality human resources that proactively serve the province’s socio-economic development in the era of digital transformation.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, 2023 World Leader in AIWS Award Recipient, began her New Year holidays on Saturday and is expected to remain on break until Jan. 4.
Takaichi will spend time in Tokyo while planning a move to the prime minister’s official residence at the end of the year. Currently, she resides at the House of Representatives members’ dormitory in Akasaka.
The move to the residence, which is next to the Prime Minister’s Office, is aimed at ensuring that she is prepared to manage a potential crisis.
Takaichi spent her time on Saturday, the first day of her break, at the Diet members’ dormitory.
Although she is taking her holidays, Takaichi is scheduled to attend a year-end ceremony for the Tokyo Stock Exchange on Tuesday as part of her official duties. She will also participate in a ceremony to celebrate the New Year on New Year’s Day at the Imperial Palace, where Imperial family members and the country’s leaders, including the prime minister, will offer New Year’s greetings to the Emperor and Empress.
Takaichi will return to work on Jan. 5 with a visit to Ise Shrine in Ise, Mie Prefecture, where she is scheduled to hold a press conference to kick off the New Year.
Regarding the move, Takaichi wrote on X on Dec. 21, “I would like to move into the official residence soon, leaving behind the familiar housing of the Diet members’ dorm.” In addition, she emphasized that “crisis management is the cardinal point of state management.”
The official residence is just a one-minute walk from the Prime Minister’s Office, where she conducts official duties, giving her the advantages that come with living close to her workplace, including the ability to respond promptly to unforeseen events, such as disasters.

Japan’s government under Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has launched a major initiative to streamline its administrative architecture by reducing the number of government councils and advisory bodies. The move reflects a broader effort to cut unnecessary bureaucracy and enhance policy efficiency. Japan Times
As of late 2025, the Cabinet Secretariat alone oversaw 88 government councils—up sharply from 39 in January 2015—many of which have become ineffective or dormant. In response, the administration has begun merging and abolishing overlapping councils, especially those created under previous governments that have accumulated without clear performance outcomes. Japan Times
Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara has instructed a comprehensive review of these bodies, with an eye toward significant reduction and the possible introduction of a sunset clause to ensure that future councils are automatically dissolved if they fail to meet predefined criteria. Japan Times
This initiative signals a strategic shift toward leaner, more accountable governance—reducing structural inefficiencies and better aligning public institutions with contemporary policy needs. For stakeholders in democratic governance and AI policy, such reforms underscore an emerging trend: the modernization of institutional frameworks in response to rapid technological and socio-economic change.
From the perspective of the AI World Society (AIWS), Japan’s efforts resonate with the broader imperative of ethical and human-centered governance in the AI Age. Simplified, responsive institutional structures are pivotal for governments to effectively adopt advanced technologies, manage digital transformation, and uphold transparency and public trust—principles at the heart of AIWS frameworks.
As nations navigate the opportunities and complexities of the coming decade, Japan’s council reduction initiative may offer valuable insights into how democratic institutions can be reorganized to support strategic agility, civic accountability, and future-oriented policy-making in an era where human and technological capacities must be harmonized.

January 1, 2026
Today, on January 1, 2026, we step into a truly special year—one that will mark the 250th anniversary of the United States. This is not only an American celebration. It is a global moment of reflection and renewal.
For 250 years, America has been more than a country. America has been an idea: that freedom, dignity, and self-governance can guide a nation—and inspire the world. Now, as humanity enters the AI Age, the world again looks to the United States—not only for technological leadership, but for moral leadership, democratic renewal, and a human-centered path forward.
That is why the BGF–AIWS Family is dedicating 2026 to the initiative:
America at 250: A Beacon for the AI Age
In this anniversary year, we will advance concrete ideas and solutions—practical models that can help America lead with wisdom, speed, and purpose in a world transformed by AI.
What we will implement in this historic year
1) AIWS Government 24/7 — Democracy that serves continuously
A new architecture for public service and governance: transparent, ethical, efficient, and available to citizens anytime, anywhere—while strengthening trust, accountability, and constitutional safeguards.
2) AIWS Angel — a trusted AI Agent for people and communities
To truly become a beacon, America must not only build powerful AI, but build good AI—AI that uplifts human dignity and strengthens society.
That is why we will develop AIWS Angel, an AI Agent designed to help individuals and communities live better in the AI Age.
AIWS Angel is built to support people in daily life with:
- Kindness, honesty, and loyalty
- Learning and creativity
- Health support for body, mind, and emotions
- Respect for cultures, faiths, and sacred places
- A spirit of compassion, peace, and responsibility
AIWS Angel is a practical instrument to help realize the values and goals of AIWS and the America at 250 Initiative—so that AI becomes a force for joy, meaning, and human flourishing.
3) AIWS Healthcare — whole-person health, supported 24/7
In the AI Age, healthcare must move beyond treating illness to building lifelong well-being. AIWS Healthcare proposes a human-centered model that combines AI-enabled prevention, early detection, and continuous support—while protecting privacy and dignity.
It includes care for physical health, mental health, and emotional well-being, helping people reduce stress, live with purpose, and sustain healthy lives in a fast-changing world.
4) AIWS Education — lifelong learning as joy, not burden
Education is not only a system. It is a way of living. AIWS Education brings learning to people anytime, anywhere, supported 24/7—so that education becomes joyful, game-like, and inspiring rather than stressful or oppressive.
With AIWS Angel as a “good friend” for learning, every person can strengthen skills, creativity, character, and compassion—making lifelong learning a national strength and a democratic foundation.
5) AIWS Culture — the soul of a humane AI civilization
Technology alone cannot define a great society. Culture is the foundation. AIWS Culture seeks to build a beautiful human future in which people choose honesty, kindness, creativity, respect for all nations and faiths, and a life filled with purpose and joy.
It helps reduce hatred, extremism, and division—replacing them with dialogue, empathy, and shared dignity. AIWS Culture is also the spiritual foundation that strengthens AIWS Education and makes AIWS Healthcare truly whole-person and sustainable.
6) Ethical innovation and real value in the digital economy
Through trusted standards for digital assets and responsible innovation ecosystems, we will promote a digital future grounded in transparency, accountability, and real societal value—not speculation, manipulation, or harm.
A new chapter begins
America at 250 should not be only a ceremony. It should be a turning point.
In 2026, the United States has the opportunity to show the world a new model: a nation where AI accelerates progress without sacrificing humanity, where democracy becomes stronger—not weaker—and where technology serves the people.
On this first day of 2026, I send a message of hope and commitment:
Happy New Year, America.
Happy 250th Anniversary.
May the United States become a true beacon for the AI Age.
Nguyen Anh Tuan
Co-Founder, Co-Chair & CEO, Boston Global Forum
