I  ·  Purpose

Purpose of the Meeting

The November 3 Boston–Rome Co-Creation Meeting is the founding preparatory meeting of a broader gathering planned for 2027 in Rome with the academic, public, private and religious worlds. Its purpose is to move the global conversation beyond the management of technology toward the creation of a civilization for humanity in the AI Age.

II  ·  Why Rome and Boston

Why Rome and Boston

Two cities. Two legacies. One shared vision for the AI Age.

Rome

It carries one of humanity's deepest traditions of moral reflection, human dignity, peace, faith, education, culture, and responsibility across generations. It provides a place where the power of AI can be judged against the enduring worth of the human person.

Boston

A global center of science, universities, the tradition of self-government, technological innovation, and public leadership. It is the birthplace of AIWS and the first AIWS Co-Creation City, where the architecture of AIWS Civilization is being developed.

Boston–Rome Co-Creation can unite moral depth with intellectual and technological leadership, creating a durable axis through which principles become institutions, and innovation becomes service to humanity.
