FOREWORD
By Governor Michael S. Dukakis
Co-Founder & Chair, Boston Global Forum
Former Governor of Massachusetts
1988 U.S. Presidential Nominee
As the world accelerates toward a future shaped by artificial intelligence and digital systems, we face profound questions about how societies will govern, create, and define value. The opportunities before us are immense — yet so are the risks. Without thoughtful stewardship, technology can deepen inequality, destabilize democracy, and undermine trust. But with vision and responsible governance, the AI Age can become a new era of peace, creativity, and shared prosperity.
The AIWS Digital Asset Standards Initiative (AIWS-DASI) is a decisive step toward ensuring such a future. By establishing ethical, technical, cultural, and civilizational standards for digital assets, we lay the foundation for a trustworthy digital economy — one aligned with democratic principles and human dignity. This work is essential not only for America’s 250th anniversary, but for the global community.
I commend Nguyen Anh Tuan, the Boston Global Forum team, and our international partners for advancing this historic initiative. May AIWS-DASI guide governments, institutions, innovators, and creators in building a digital world worthy of humanity’s highest ideals.
