The Boston Global Forum (BGF), founder of the AI World Society (AIWS) in 2017, affirms its commitment to collaborate with universities around the world to advance the vision of an ethical, human-centered, and innovative society in the Age of AI.
Universities are the engines of knowledge, creativity, and ethical inquiry. By partnering with academic institutions, BGF seeks to bring the AIWS initiatives—including AIWS Government 24/7, the Boston Finance Accord, AIWS Digital Assets, AIWS Music for Humanity, and the AIWS Film Park—into practice. Together, we can nurture future leaders, create pioneering research, and develop concrete solutions for the great challenges of our time.
BGF welcomes partnerships that combine the strength of academic research with the global network of policymakers, innovators, and thought leaders who guide AIWS. Through joint programs, forums, and innovation labs, BGF and universities can co-create a New Democracy in the Age of AI, ensuring that advanced technologies serve humanity with ethics, dignity, and compassion.
BGF has already engaged outstanding students from top universities through the Enlightenment in Action Alliance (EAA), launched at the AI Action Summit in Paris (February 2025). We look forward to expanding this collaboration and inviting more universities to join in shaping the future of AI for humanity.

In recent remarks, President Donald Trump pressed European allies to stop buying Russian oil and to increase pressure on China, framing this as a decisive step toward ending the war in Ukraine.
The Boston Global Forum (BGF) views this as a constructive approach. Many democratic nations want peace in Ukraine and express concern about threats from China to democracy. Yet, contradictions remain: while voicing opposition, they continue to conduct significant business with both Russia and China.
If democracies are serious about addressing these threats, they must act with coherence. Business and economic policy are fundamental tools of strategy. Consolidating trade and financial strength, while isolating Russia and China, is essential to reducing their capacity to undermine peace and democratic values.
This moment calls for unity — not only in security guarantees, but in economic solidarity — to create conditions where peace and stability can take root.
BGF–AIWS Perspective: In the Age of AI, security is inseparable from economic and technological governance. The vision of AIWS Government 24/7 emphasizes aligning policies across diplomacy, finance, and technology to strengthen democracy and ensure peace. By consolidating economic cooperation, democracies can face challenges from authoritarian regimes with both resilience and responsibility.

The AIWS Film Park and the Boston Global Forum (BGF) have begun production of a pivotal sequence in the upcoming film Shinzo Abe – A Legacy of Vision and Resilience.

This scene brings together distinguished voices — including Nguyen Anh Tuan, Yasuhide Nakayama, Vibhav Kant Upadhyay, Ambassador Bach Tra, Ms. Võ Hiếu Dân, and Nham Quynh — who honor and reflect on Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s enduring legacy. Their words, music, and reflections will be filmed in two iconic locations: the President Room of the Potique Hotel and the AIWS House in Nha Trang.
The tribute will culminate in a sunrise sequence on the Nha Trang shoreline, accompanied by the AIWS Peace Symphony, symbolizing how Abe’s vision for peace, security, and humanity continues to inspire leaders and young generations alike.
This filming marks not only a milestone in the Shinzo Abe Film but also the cultural mission of AIWS: to preserve legacies of leadership and translate them into living inspiration for the future.
