Boston, December 9, 2024 – The Boston Global Forum (BGF) proudly commemorates its 12th anniversary and its dedicated efforts to advance significant global initiatives. Since its inception on December 12, 2012, BGF has been at the forefront of fostering innovation and promoting peace, security, and democratic values worldwide. It has spearheaded groundbreaking programs such as the AI World Society – New Democracy, and the prestigious “World Leader for Peace and Security” and “World Leader in AI World Society” awards. These awards have recognized and empowered leaders who are making exemplary contributions to creating a more peaceful and technologically advanced world.
On this momentous occasion, BGF announces the “AIWS Government 24/7” model.

The AIWS Government 24/7 model aims to enhance governmental efficiency, responsiveness, and resilience in an ever-evolving global landscape.
BGF extends heartfelt gratitude to the distinguished leaders, thinkers, innovators, and our partners from the United States and around the world who have supported and contributed to our initiatives. We also express our deep appreciation to the dedicated BGF leaders, staff, and contributors who have been instrumental in our 12-year journey.
As we look to the bright future—the Age of Global Enlightenment—BGF calls upon technical communities, business leaders, and governments to join us in realizing the AIWS Government 24/7 vision. Together, we can build a world that is more peaceful, secure, prosperous, and compassionate through the continued efforts of the AI World Society and BGF’s ongoing initiatives and programs.
