Co-authored by Governor Michael S. Dukakis and Nguyen Anh Tuan, the book presents the most comprehensive governance framework yet produced for America’s role in the AI age — released on the nation’s 250th anniversary.
The Boston Global Forum (BGF) and the AI World Society (AIWS) today announced the publication of America at 250: A Beacon for the AI Age — a landmark volume co-authored by Governor Michael S. Dukakis, Co-Founder and Chair of the Boston Global Forum, and Nguyen Anh Tuan, Co-Founder, Co-Chair, and CEO of the Boston Global Forum and Founder of the AI World Society. The book is published by Tri Thức Publishing and launched at the America at 250 conference at Loeb House, Harvard University, on May 1, 2026.
Written across twenty chapters and more than 112,000 words, America at 250 is at once a celebration of America’s democratic heritage, a rigorous analysis of the AI revolution underway, and a comprehensive governance roadmap for how the United States can lead the world in ensuring that artificial intelligence serves human dignity, democratic values, and the common good. It is, in the authors’ words, “not a history but a vision — an offering to the country we love.”
