As the world enters a new era shaped by artificial intelligence, digital currencies, and blockchain economies, the need for ethical governance and trusted value systems has never been more urgent. To meet this challenge, the Boston Global Forum (BGF) — through its pioneering initiative, the AI World Society (AIWS) — has launched the AIWS Digital Asset Standards Initiative (AIWS-DASI).
Purpose and Vision
AIWS-DASI redefines the meaning of digital assets in the AI Age. Beyond speculation or currency, digital assets are understood as new embodiments of human achievement — representing knowledge, creativity, trust, and the collective progress of civilization.
The initiative envisions a future where every digital asset is ethically designed, transparently managed, and socially valuable, serving as a tool for peace, sustainability, and global cooperation rather than exploitation or manipulation.
Framework and Methodology
AIWS-DASI establishes a three-dimensional framework for evaluating and certifying digital assets:
- Standards (Ethical and Technical):
Ensuring transparency in creation, ownership, and transaction mechanisms, while aligning with AIWS principles of accountability, fairness, and benefit to humanity. - Quality (Intrinsic and Societal Value):
Assessing each asset’s contribution to social good — peace, sustainability, education, or innovation — and its authenticity and provenance. - Values (Human-Centered and Cultural):
Measuring how assets reflect cultural heritage, moral integrity, and respect for human dignity.
Through these criteria, AIWS-DASI will identify and certify AIWS Esteemed Digital Assets, setting a gold standard for ethical digital creation and exchange.
Implementation and Global Collaboration
To realize its vision, BGF will establish the AIWS Digital Asset Standards Board (ADASB) — an interdisciplinary council of ethicists, economists, technologists, and cultural leaders — to oversee the development and application of these standards.
BGF and AIWS will also publish the “BGF–AIWS Charter on Digital Asset Ethics and Value”, serving as a foundational guide for governments, enterprises, and innovators seeking to ensure integrity and trust in the digital economy.
Toward a Human-Centered Digital Future
The AIWS Digital Asset Standards Initiative connects financial innovation with the moral and intellectual foundations of civilization. It links technology to human dignity, creativity, and compassion, offering a path where digital transformation serves not only economic growth but also enlightenment and peace.
By introducing AIWS Esteemed Digital Assets and establishing global standards for their recognition, BGF and AIWS reaffirm their mission: to ensure that technology in the AI Age elevates humanity to a higher level of wisdom, justice, and shared prosperity.
