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.
