President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen, recipient of the World Leader for Peace and Security Award 2020, gave a speech at the European Parliament Plenary on the inauguration of the new US President Joe Biden January 20, 2021. She said:
“In all beginning there dwells a magic force. Jedem Anfang wohnt ein Zauber inne. I cannot help but think of this famous line of the poet Hermann Hesse when looking forward to the inauguration of Joe Biden in a few hours from now. Joe Biden’s oath will be a message of healing for a deeply divided nation. And it will be a message of hope for a world that is waiting for the U.S. to be back in the circle of like-minded states. This time-honoured ceremony on the steps of the U.S. Capitol will be a demonstration of the resilience of American democracy. And a resounding proof that, once again, after four long years, Europe has a friend in the White House. And he will be standing next to Kamala Harris, the first woman to be Vice-President of the United States.
This is a historic achievement and this also makes this day very special. This new dawn in America is the moment we have been waiting for, so long. Europe is ready for a new start with our oldest and most trusted partner. And this is why the Commission recently has adopted a new, forward looking transatlantic agenda. And it focuses on where we can together join forces to push for global change – based on our common values, interests and global influence.
From climate change to health, from digitalisation to democracy – these are global challenges that need renewed and improved global cooperation. And the European Union and the United States must lead from the front and bring an alliance of like-minded partners with us. There is of course no greater need for global cooperation in the short term than in tackling the pandemic, which has been so devastating on both sides of the Atlantic. As you know, the European Union has been leading the global response since day one.
……
It is in this digital field that Europe has so much to offer the new government in Washington. The path we have taken in Europe can be an example for approaches at international level. As has long been the case with the General Data Protection Regulation. I can imagine, for example, a joint Trade and Technology Council, as a first step. Together we could create a digital economy rulebook that is valid worldwide: From data protection and privacy to the security of critical infrastructure. A body of rules based on our values: human rights and pluralism, inclusion and protection of privacy.
This day brings good news: The United States are back. And Europe stands ready. To reconnect with an old and trusted partner, to breathe new life in our cherished alliance.”

BOSTON, January 25, 2021: The Boston Global Forum (BGF) and the Michael Dukakis Institute today announced an initiative to establish a worldwide agreement to promote the transformative benefits of artificial intelligence and safeguard against potential abuses. The inclusive global conversation is designed to ensure the responsible use of AI technologies by governments and business while protecting democratic values.
“Artificial intelligence is transforming every aspect of our lives,” said Governor Michael Dukakis in announcing the initiative. “Our goal is to stimulate a global conversation that will make sure AI is used responsibly by governments and the private sector around the world.”
Determining how to govern AI has attracted thoughtful proposals and standards from a wide range of organizations, from the United Nations and the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development to the European Union and the African Union. The new initiative plans to build on the earlier work and expand collaboration on an international scale.
The Artificial Intelligence International Accord Initiative begins with three primary goals:
Professor Judea Pearl, World Leader in AI World Society (AIWS) Award 2020, Board Member of the History of AI, conceived Deep Understanding and Data Interpretation. Michael Dukakis Institute supports this concept and model, as it will create more transparency, smarter, and easier to monitor in AI. It also will help reduce data and resources, thus saving energy and environment. Governments and business should invest more for education, research, and development of the Judea Pearl model and to create decision-making systems for governments and society.
Professor Judea Pearl wrote:
“The bulk of machine learning in AI (as well as DATA Science in general) is operating in ‘data fitting’ mode, as opposed to ‘data interpretation’ mode, which characterizes scientific thinking. ‘The data-fitting school is driven by the faith that the secret to rational decisions lies in the data themselves, if only we are sufficiently clever at data mining. In contrast, the data-interpreting school views data, not as a sole object of inquiry but as an auxiliary means for interpreting reality, and ‘reality’ stands for the processes that generate the data.’
Mathematical analysis reveals inherent limitations of the data-centric paradigm, and its inability to read Deep Understanding of the domain of discourse. This limitation entails inherent limitation in achieving human level intelligence, specifically in meeting requirements of adaptation, explainability, robustness, and ethics.”
In collaboration with Novaland to build the History of AI House at NovaWorld Phan Thiet, in late January 2021, Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, Director of Michael Dukakis Institute, will visit NovaWorld Phan Thiet and meet with leaders of Novaland to start to build the History of AI House. The History of AI House at NovaWorld Phan Thiet will present historical achievements, events, figures in AI, and a locale to announce the History of AI on December 31 annually.
The History of AI House at AIWS City, a virtual smart city, will connect and along with History of AI House in NovaWorld Phan Thiet, and support each other.
The first figures and achievements will be presented at the History of AI House are professor Judea Pearl, World Leader in AI World Society Award 2020, a mentor of AIWS.net, and professor Mavin Minsky, MIT.
