Speech by Mr. Nguyen Van Cuong, Head of the Bac Ninh Quan Ho Folk Song Theater
Hanoi, January 4, 2025
Dear Ambassador Amandeep Gill, United Nations Under-Secretary-General and Secretary- General’s Envoy on Technology,
Today, the Bac Ninh Quan Ho Folk Song Theater is honored to welcome Ambassador Amandeep Gill to Vietnam.
Quan Ho Bac Ninh folk music has been recognized by UNESCO as an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity. Quan Ho Bac Ninh celebrates love for humanity and nature. In Quan Ho songs, there are no words or verses of hatred or war. Alongside the elegant, refined, creative, innovative, tolerant, forgiving, and deeply empathetic culture of Quan Ho, it embodies noble values. These values contribute to the building of an Artificial Intelligence World Society and support the visions, strategies, and standards of the United Nations for a new age—the Age of Global Enlightenment, the Artificial Intelligence Age, which you are leading. The Bac Ninh Quan Ho Folk Song Theater honors the contributions of Mr. Amandeep Gill, who has been awarded the World Leader in Artificial Intelligence World Society Award. Through these beautiful and noble Quan Ho melodies, we wish you a successful visit to Vietnam. We hope that you will share your wisdom and affection with the people of Vietnam to help build a new era—the era of the nation’s rise.
We invite you and our distinguished guests to enjoy Bac Ninh Quan Ho folk songs, performed by outstanding artists from the Bac Ninh Quan Ho Folk Song Theater, including Huu Duy, Xuan De, Minh Thuy, Huong Sao, and Thanh Tan. Bac Ninh Quan Ho will stand with the United Nations in building an Artificial Intelligence World Society filled with love, compassion, and creativity.

As we begin the year 2025, the history of AI calls for renewed hope and the promise of new historical achievements. We look ahead with anticipation, hoping to shape a global AI platform that empowers citizens to become innovators — to create new applications, businesses, and opportunities, and to ensure equality for all. This platform will provide solutions to prevent the abuse of AI by extreme nationalist regimes and dictatorships, fostering a future where AI serves humanity, not divides it.
Additionally, this platform will extend its support to governments of weaker nations, offering tools and resources to help them navigate the challenges of the digital age. By leveraging AI, these nations can reform their systems to become more effective, efficient, and responsive. One such solution is the AIWS Government 24/7, a transformative model for governance that aims to deliver faster, smarter, and more transparent decision-making for all citizens, ensuring that AI can be a force for positive change in the world.
We also hope that students of the Enlightenment in Action Alliance (EAA) will join these pioneering initiatives to help realize this goal, contributing their energy, ideas, and expertise toward building a better, more equitable future through AI.

The Boston Global Forum (BGF) recognizes the vital role of business leaders in shaping the future of democracy in the age of AI. Starting from January 8, 2025, BGF invites business leaders from the Four Pillars — the U.S., EU-UK, Japan, and India — to engage in meaningful discussions on how they can contribute to building a new democracy with AI. These discussions will focus on aligning AI development with democratic principles and working together to create a new democratic model that can be shared globally.
This dialogue will be submitted to the AI Action Summit, further supporting the outcomes of the AI Action Summit in Paris on February 10-11, 2025. BGF also supports the French government and President Macron in advancing the ethical use of AI, promoting ethical business practices with AI, and protecting democratic values when engaging with extreme nationalist governments and dictatorial regimes. Additionally, the dialogue will address AI’s role in global governance.
This roundtable will follow a flexible format, combining in-person discussions, online participation, and communication via email and mobile platforms.
By fostering collaboration and creating a platform for shared insights, BGF envisions this roundtable as an important step “On the Road to the AI Action Summit.” BGF seeks to empower business leaders to ensure that AI enhances, rather than undermines, democratic values worldwide. This effort will contribute to the creation of a new model of democracy, such as the AIWS Government 24/7, and explore how to collaborate with France to leapfrog AI in the economy, politics, and society.
