WISeKey Expands the Global HUMAN-AI-T Into a Global Movement Following Davos 2026 Launch, Calling for Ethical and Human-Governed AI

WISeKey International Holding Ltd (SIX: WIHN; NASDAQ: WKEY), a leader in cybersecurity and digital identity, announced the expansion of the HUMAN-AI-T initiative into a global movement following its launch at Davos 2026. The initiative aims to ensure AI development remains centered on humanity, ethics, and democratic values amid rapid advancements in AI and quantum technologies. The HUMAN-AI-T Manifesto proposes a framework to safeguard human oversight of autonomous systems, which increasingly influence decisions affecting billions. It emphasizes principles such as transparency, privacy, and ethical governance to prevent harm, discrimination, and destabilization of democratic systems. WISeKey warns that unchecked technological progress could erode privacy, deepen inequalities, and weaken control over critical infrastructures. The manifesto calls for global participation from governments, enterprises, universities, and civil society to define a new ethical contract for AI. A key component is the HUMAN-AI-T Knowledge Vault, a digital platform inspired by the Svalbard Global Seed Vault, designed to preserve humanity’s diverse wisdom—including religious teachings, legal frameworks, and indigenous traditions—to guide ethical AI development. The initiative highlights humanity’s unique strengths—diversity, compassion, and moral consciousness—as essential to counterbalance technological supremacy. Carlos Moreira, WISeKey’s Founder and CEO, stressed that the future of intelligence must remain human-centric, trustworthy, and ethically governed. The HUMAN-AI-T project seeks to consolidate global knowledge sources to ensure AI aligns with universal human values and democratic principles. It urges immediate action to establish safeguards, emphasizing that technology should serve humanity rather than replace it.
