Wisekey International Holding Ltd Expands the Global Human-Ai-T Initiative into A Global Movement
WISeKey International Holding Ltd. announced that following the successful launch of the HUMAN-AI-T Manifesto at Davos 2026, it is expanding the initiative into a global movement. The initiative advocates for a future where Artificial Intelligence remains firmly aligned with humanity, ethics, democratic principles, and human dignity. The HUMAN-AI-T Manifesto emerges as an urgent international framework designed to place humanity back at the center of technological evolution. The initiative is founded on one essential principle: Technology must serve humanity — not replace it. The HUMAN-AI-T Manifesto is designed as an international framework to place humanity at the center of technological evolution. It is grounded in a single guiding principle: technology must serve humanity, not replace it. At a time when autonomous systems are increasingly making decisions affecting billions of people, the Manifesto calls for immediate global collaboration to establish safeguards ensuring that AI remains under meaningful human oversight and accountable governance. The framework promotes Artificial Intelligence that is: Aligned with universal human values; Transparent, explainable, and auditable; Respectful of privacy and civil liberties; Designed to prevent harm and discrimination; Governed through ethical and human-led oversight; Focused on amplifying human potential rather than replacing human capabilities. The initiative reflects a rapidly growing international movement toward Human-Centered AI, where intelligent systems function as trusted co-pilots supporting human creativity, productivity, and decision-making while preserving the essential role of human judgment, empathy, and responsibility. WISeKey emphasizes that the convergence of AI, quantum computing, robotics, autonomous systems, and digital identity technologies presents not only extraordinary opportunities, but also existential risks if left unchecked. Without ethical governance, transparency, and accountability, emerging technologies could destabilize democratic systems, erode privacy, amplify misinformation, deepen social inequalities, and weaken humanity’s control over critical infrastructures. Accordingly, the HUMAN-AI-T Manifesto therefore calls upon governments, enterprises, universities, researchers, civil society organizations, spiritual leaders, and citizens worldwide to participate in defining a new social and ethical contract for the AI era. A cornerstone of the initiative is the development of the HUMAN-AI-T Knowledge Vault, inspired by the principles of the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, which safeguards the world’s agricultural biodiversity for future generations. The HUMAN-AI-T project aims to become the digital equivalent for humanity’s collective wisdom and ethical foundations. The platform will consolidate and preserve a vast diversity of human knowledge sources, including: Religious and spiritual teachings; Philosophical traditions; International treaties and legal frameworks; Ethical doctrines; Indigenous wisdom and local traditions; Historical lessons from civilizations across the globe; Human rights principles and democratic values. By integrating these diverse dimensions of human experience into AI learning environments, the project seeks to ensure that future AI systems understand not only data and logic, but also the ethical, cultural, emotional, and spiritual intricacies that define humanity itself. The initiative recognizes that humanity’s greatest strength lies in its diversity, compassion, creativity, and moral consciousness, qualities that must not be lost in the race toward technological supremacy. The HUMAN-AI-T initiative is intended to evolve into a global movement bringing together leaders from technology, governments, academia, philosophy, religion, cybersecurity, law, and civil society to collaboratively shape the future of responsible AI and Quantum governance. As the world enters what many experts describe as the defining technological transition of the century, WISeKey believes that the decisions made today will determine whether Artificial Intelligence becomes humanity’s greatest ally — or its greatest unmanaged risk. The time to act is now.
