Beacon Papers No. 15: The Human Advancement Test

Oct 13, 2026 | Papers & Reports, News, Publications

Boston Global Forum and AIWS present Beacon Papers No. 15, “The Human Advancement Test: How Human–AI Co-Creation Advances Humanity,” by Nguyen Anh Tuan, Founder and Chief Architect of AIWS and Co-Founder, Co-Chair and CEO of the Boston Global Forum.

AI can make the work better while the person doing it grows weaker, and nothing in the output reveals it.

Beacon Papers No. 15 answers with the Human Advancement Test (HAT): a practical standard, originated at AIWS Lumina Lab, to show whether working with AI makes people more capable. HAT helps people advance their intelligence throughout life, with the help of AI Assistants. Through six dimensions, from deeper understanding to greater love for people and nature, and a ready-to-use template, every person and institution can begin now.

“Measure the person, not the output. Test what grows, with AI and without it. Record what has grown.”
