White Paper on the
NATS Sovereign Civilization Cultural-Art Digital Asset × AI Industry–Academia–Research Center**
Vision, Mission, and Global Value Proposition


I. Introduction: From Educational Civilization Traditions to a New Vision of Sovereign Digital Assets

The International Academy of Education (IAE) traces its intellectual origins to the 17th-century European Enlightenment and is regarded as one of the oldest international academic evaluation and research institutions. Its lineage can be traced to the Royal Society (founded in 1660)—the cornerstone of modern scientific inquiry and scholarly advancement.
(Reference: Wikipedia + IAEUN.org)

Based on official IAE publications and publicly available information, IAE’s core mission is to promote global educational excellence, international academic collaboration, and high-level degree evaluation. Its network spans nearly 200 countries and regions, and it remains among the few international academic institutions authorized to nominate Nobel Prize candidates.


In today’s rapidly evolving landscape—shaped by Generative AI, blockchain, and the emerging field of Real-World Asset Tokenization (RWA)—issues of national sovereignty, civilizational culture, and digital asset governance have become central to global debates on AI policy and digital sovereignty. UNESCO, the European Union, and numerous governments have introduced AI ethics guidelines, cultural and educational policy papers, and regulatory frameworks emphasizing a renewed balance between technological innovation and humanistic values.

Against this international backdrop, this white paper proposes the establishment—under the IAE framework—of the:

NATS Sovereign Civilization Cultural-Art Digital Asset × AI Industry–Academia–Research Center

(National Assets for Sovereignty, Civilization, Culture & Art Digital Assets × AI Research Center)

The Center aims to integrate:

  • National Sovereignty

  • Civilizational, Cultural, and Artistic Assets

  • Blockchain and Digital Asset Technologies

  • Artificial Intelligence and Data Governance

to create a global platform driven by:

Civilizational Values × Technological Autonomy × Educational Innovation


II. Center Vision: Guardian and Engine of the Digital Civilization Era

The vision of the Center is:

To become a global guardian and innovation engine for digital civilization, empowered by AI to preserve and activate sovereign cultural and artistic assets, and advancing a future defined by cultural confidence and technological autonomy.

This vision is articulated across three dimensions:


1. Innovation at the Intersection of Civilization and Digital Assets

  • Advancing research, standards, and applications for sovereign civilization cultural-art digital assets

  • Promoting deep integration between digital economies and cultural industries

  • Enabling nations to protect and revitalize their cultural sovereignty through autonomous technologies


2. Becoming a Global Hub for AI × Cultural Arts × Digital Assets

Leveraging IAE’s international academic network to build:

  • A global collaborative platform linking universities, museums, cultural institutions, research bodies, and industries

  • A scalable pathway enabling nations to establish sovereign digital museums and civilization-oriented digital asset systems


3. Advancing the Educational Ideal of “Humanistic AI for a Sustainable Future”

Following UNESCO’s AI ethics and educational guidelines, the Center promotes the principle:

AI must serve humanity—not replace human creativity.

Through interdisciplinary education and research, the Center will strengthen cultural diversity and resist technological monopolies and digital colonialism.


III. Center Mission: Four Strategic Action Pillars

The mission of the Center will be realized through four strategic pillars:


1. Technological Development: Sovereign Digital Assets & AI Infrastructure

Building secure and trustworthy technologies for sovereign digital assets, including:

  • Blockchain and NFTs for preserving national cultural and artistic heritage, intangible cultural assets, and historical archives

  • Generative AI applied to cultural heritage reconstruction, language revitalization, and historical document restoration

  • Exploration of Sovereign AI architectures that reduce dependency on foreign datasets, cloud platforms, and proprietary models

(Ref: EU Parliament, UNESCO AI guidelines)


2. Talent Cultivation: Interdisciplinary Digital Civilization Professionals

Using IAE’s advanced graduate evaluation system to design programs integrating:

  • AI

  • Blockchain & Digital Asset Management

  • Cultural Studies

  • International Law

  • Digital Sovereignty

The Center will promote hybrid online/offline education and cultivate professionals capable of integrating AI, culture, finance, and governance.


3. International Collaboration: Building a Global Digital Civilization Community

Through IAE’s global academic network, the Center will form the NATS Digital Civilization Network, collaborating with:

  • UN organizations

  • UNESCO

  • Regional entities (EU, AU, ASEAN, etc.)

  • NGOs and industry alliances

The focus: establishing bridges between digital sovereignty, cultural sovereignty, and global public interest within the emerging global AI governance system.


4. Application Deployment: Cultural, Economic, and Governance Implementation
