The mission of AIWS is to develop recommendations for the development and implementation of AI in ways that promote the public interest. This includes:
- Develop an ethical framework for the use of AI.
- Create Social Contract for the AI Age, AI International Accord, and Global Alliance for Digital Governance
- Innovate technical protocols to enhance cybersecurity and protect privacy.
