WISeKey turns HUMAN-AI-T manifesto into global movement for ethical AI governance

WISeKey International Holding Ltd, a Swiss firm specializing in cybersecurity and digital identity, is scaling its HUMAN-AI-T initiative from a Davos 2026 manifesto into a global movement. The initiative calls for a new social contract where artificial intelligence remains under meaningful human oversight and aligned with democratic values. Central to this is the HUMAN-AI-T Knowledge Vault, modeled after the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which will consolidate religious teachings, philosophical traditions, legal frameworks, indigenous wisdom, and historical lessons into a curated dataset for AI training. The goal is to ensure future AI systems understand not just data but the ethical and cultural nuances of humanity.

WISeKey warns that the convergence of AI, quantum computing, and autonomous systems poses existential risks if left unchecked—destabilizing democracies, eroding privacy, and amplifying inequality. The manifesto's core principle is that technology must serve humanity, not replace it. It promotes AI that is transparent, explainable, privacy-respecting, and designed to amplify human potential. WISeKey invites governments, enterprises, universities, and citizens to join the movement, which now transitions from a declaration into an actionable framework for ethical governance of emerging technologies.
