Geneva, Switzerland, April 17, 2025 In a monumental step towards ensuring that artificial intelligence (AI) serves humanity rather than detracts from it, WISeKey International Holding Ltd, alongside its subsidiary SEALSQ Corp, the OISTE Foundation, and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations (UNAOC), has announced the launch of HUMAN-AI-T. This groundbreaking initiative is designed to place humanity at the forefront of AI development, emphasizing ethical considerations and cultural richness.

The inception of HUMAN-AI-T is rooted in a collaborative spirit that began in 2022. During the early days of AIs growing influence, the Onuart Foundation, in partnership with UNAOC, the United Nations Office in Geneva (UNOG), and the Spanish government, orchestrated the First Global Dialogue on AI. This pivotal event took place on October 10 and 11 at the United Nations in Geneva, specifically in the Human Rights and Alliance of Civilizations Room, commonly referred to as the Spain Room at the UN. Attendees included esteemed figures like Dr. Rafael Yuste, Director of the U.S. Brain Initiative, and Carlos Moreira, CEO of WISeKey, with the event inaugurated by key UN officials including Dr. Amandeep Gill, the UN Secretary-Generals Envoy on Technology. The dialogue culminated in a manifesto that emphasized the urgent need for new human rights frameworks in the context of AI advancements.

Codenamed HUMAN-AI-T, this initiative aims to create a universal AI platform that encapsulates the ethical principles and collective wisdom of human civilization. By utilizing verified knowledge sources, including religious texts, philosophical works, indigenous wisdom, and legal foundations, the platform promises to serve as a digital vault that safeguards and propagates the values that unify humanity.

Inspired by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, HUMAN-AI-T is envisioned as a secure repository of humanitys ethical foundation, where all content will be digitally signed and protected through cutting-edge post-quantum cryptographic technologies developed by WISeKey and SEALSQ. This robust security framework ensures trust and resilience, paving the way for future generations to access and uphold these values.

The UNAOC plays a critical role in this initiative, underscoring its commitment to the principle of Many Cultures, One Humanity. By embedding intercultural and interreligious dialogue into the AIs core framework, the project aims to reflect the diverse voices of humanity while simultaneously reinforcing shared values of peace, dignity, and inclusion.

As we edge closer to realizing Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and quantum computing, the potential for superintelligent systems operating autonomously raises significant ethical dilemmas. HUMAN-AI-T anticipates these challenges by ensuring that AI systems adhere to universal ethical standards and human-centric safeguards. Carlos Moreira, the Founder and CEO of WISeKey, articulated the urgency of this initiative, stating, We are entering an era where machines may become more intelligent than their creators. If we do not act now, we risk building technologies that evolve beyond our moral control. He emphasized that HUMAN-AI-T is more than merely enhancing machine intelligence; its about aligning such advancements with the core values that define humanity.

The initiative aligns with the vision articulated in the United Nations General Assemblys historic resolution advocating for safe, secure, and trustworthy AI systems. By transforming AI into a global moral infrastructure, HUMAN-AI-T aspires to enhance human capabilities and reclaim technology for the collective good.

Through this ambitious collaboration, HUMAN-AI-T is positioned to redefine the future of artificial intelligence, shifting its trajectory from a source of potential disruption to a pillar of ethical progress benefiting all of humanity.

The UNAOC, as a United Nations entity, continues to build bridges between cultures, fostering dialogue and understanding to diminish hostility and promote mutual respect among diverse societies. This initiative is a testament to such efforts, aiming to create an AI landscape that respects and uplifts all.
