The World Artificial Consciousness Association (WACA), established in Geneva, Switzerland in 2023, is dedicated to decoding the mechanisms of consciousness and building ethically aligned artificial consciousness systems.
Core Areas:
  1.Neural Mechanism Decoding (Whole-brain Consciousness Modeling)
  2.Artificial Consciousness Architecture (Brain-inspired Cognitive Framework: CogNetX)
  3.Ethics and Law (Formulation of the “Artificial Conscious Entity Rights Act”)
  4.Clinical Translation (AI Diagnostic System for Disorders of Consciousness: ComaScan™)
  Key Achievements:
  • Released the world’s first Consciousness Quantification Index (CQI v1.0)
  • Led the IEEE International Standards for Artificial Consciousness Safety
  • Improved vegetative state diagnosis accuracy to 89% (2025, The Lancet)
Global Network:
  • Collaborations with MIT, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and EU Human Brain Project
  • Industrial alliances with Neuralink, Johnson & Johnson Medical
  • Ethical framework based on the “Tokyo Consensus”

  The WACA Intelligent Diagnostics Committee (IDC), a sub-association under WACA, was established to integrate the revolution of artificial intelligence and information technology with traditional diagnostic medicine. Its goal is to enhance clinical diagnostics through intelligent means and contribute to global human health through technologies with real-world, revolutionary potential.
I. Purpose of the Committee
  The WACA Intelligent Diagnostics Committee (IDC) aims to:
  1.Build Interdisciplinary Collaboration Networks:
  Uniting top experts from clinical medicine, imaging, laboratory medicine, cognitive neuroscience, AI, and legal ethics.
  2.Tackle Core Challenges in Intelligent Diagnostics:
  Including assessments of cognition and consciousness disorders, intelligent screening for major mental illnesses, and brain-computer interface applications.
  3.Establish International Technical Standards:
  Promoting frameworks for interpretable AI diagnostics and privacy protection for neural data.
  4.Accelerate Clinical Translation:
  Transforming artificial consciousness theories into precision diagnostic tools.
