Calls on Japan to Become a Global Leader in AI Trust
TOKYO, March 31, 2026 — Nguyen Anh Tuan, Co-Founder, Co-Chair, and CEO of the Boston Global Forum (BGF), delivered a distinguished keynote address at the headquarters of Japan’s Liberal Democratic Party (LDP) in Tokyo on March 31, 2026.
Organized by LDP leaders as a two-hour program, the event featured Nguyen Anh Tuan’s keynote address followed by a Q&A session. His remarks were introduced by Mr. Kenji Wakamiya, Chairman of the LDP Research Commission on Foreign Affairs, and Mr. Yasuhide Nakayama, Director of the Global South of the Liberal Democratic Party.
In his speech, “Japan as a Global Leader in AI Trust,” Nguyen Anh Tuan argued that in the age of artificial intelligence, nations will be judged not only by the power of the technologies they create, but by the trust they are able to build. He called on Japan to aim not only to be a leader in AI innovation, but to become a global leader in AI trust.
A central theme of the address was the historic legacy of Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, whom Nguyen Anh Tuan described as a statesman of vision who gave Japan confidence, direction, and a larger mission in the world. He also highlighted the leadership of Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi, presenting her as carrying that legacy forward in an era shaped by artificial intelligence, national resilience, and global transformation.
Nguyen Anh Tuan introduced key elements of the AIWS framework, including AIWS Trust Architecture, AIWS Trust Rating (ATR), AIWS Trust Index (ATX), and AIWS Trust Infrastructure, presenting them as practical pathways to move trust beyond aspiration and into standards, institutions, implementation, and long-term governance. He argued that Japan, together with trusted partners, is especially well positioned to help shape such an effort in the AI Age.
He also underscored the importance of the LDP Global South Cooperation Headquarters and Japan’s long-standing contributions through ODA and international cooperation, calling this accumulated trust and respect a major national asset. He emphasized that future cooperation can be strengthened through more reciprocal, sustainable, and innovation-driven partnerships, including with countries such as Vietnam.
He concluded that the future will belong not only to those who create more powerful AI, but to those who help humanity trust the age it is entering. (bostonglobalforum.org)
