Agenda
Tuan Nguyen’s focus is assessing current AI solutions to identify future needs, create awareness and integrate technical expertise and professional backgrounds into practical solutions. As a result, he aligns the agenda with using advanced technology to develop the ideal societal structures. Therefore, his agenda transcends the individual focus on issues concerning gender equality, suitability development, and climate change and looks to provide AI-backed solutions that cut across similar societal issues.
Today, the BGF seeks to unite four key global economic players: Japan, the EU-the UK, India and the US. In addition, it also seeks to secure partnerships that will set the stage for its expansion in 10 more countries, including Mexico, the Philippines, Brazil, New Zealand, and Indonesia, among others. However, BGF’s current limitation is its inability to manage and track AI abuse by organizations and governments. Nevertheless, the foundation is confident it will build its resource base to help channel adequate funding and skills toward oversight in the following years.

August 24th is a testament to Ukraine’s independence, sovereignty, and democracy and a day of pride in Ukraine’s strength and resilience. It is also a day of celebration of Ukrainian heritage and culture.
The Boston Global Forum honored President Zelensky and all Ukrainian people with the World Leader in Peace and Security Award 2022.
AIWS City is pleased to introduce the writing of Vietnamese Mathematician Nguyen Ngoc Chu to congratulate Ukraine’s Independence Day.
Speech to celebrate Ukraine’s independence day – Dear Ambassador of Ukraine to Vietnam Aleksandr Gaman, Dear Ukrainian guests, Ladies and Gentlemen! Three days ago the Ukrainian Army broke through the first defence line of the Russian invaders in the Robotine area, liberated Robotine, entered Novoprokopivka, began to attack the 2nd defence line of the Russian invaders, towards the city Tokmak is 25 km away. From Tokmak to Melitopol only 63 km. Although it is very difficult, although it is very fierce, even though many people have to be sacrificed, Tokmak and Melitopol will have to be liberated. Crimea will be isolated and fall into the siege, attacked. After 18 months of aggression since February 24, 2022, Putin’s Russian army has completely failed in all goals. Must withdraw from Kiev, Chernihiv, Sumy on the entire Northern border. Pushed back from Kharkiv, Kupyansk on the Eastern Front. Had to flee from Kherson on the Southern front. From the defensive position, the Ukrainian army turned to counter-attack on the whole line from the Eastern Front to the Southern Front, in Bakhmut in Donetsk Oblast, in the direction of Berdyansk and in the direction of Melitopol in Zaporizhzhia Oblast, on the left bank of the Dnipro River in Kherson Oblast. While the Ukrainian army on the front is sacrificing blood and blood to liberate every square meter of Ukraine’s land, at this moment we meet here to celebrate Ukraine’s Independence Day. On August 24, 1991, Ukraine left the Soviet Union and became an independent, free and democratic country. But unfortunately, the path to independence, freedom and democracy chosen by the Ukrainian people was blocked by the tyrant Putin. Misfortune for humanity in the 21st century, in the age of globalization civilization, there are still tyrants who dream of expanding their territory and trying to rewrite history. Putin obstructed Ukraine’s democratic choice, infringed on Ukraine’s territorial integrity, and brought death to the Ukrainian people with a cruel, unruly, senseless war of aggression. As people of a country that has experienced many wars against aggression, we stand with the Ukrainian people, paying our respects to the heroic Ukrainian people. Righteous people around the world are grateful to the people of Ukraine for their blood sacrifices to uphold international law. The heroic struggle of the Ukrainian people not only thwarts Putin’s territorial ambitions and attempts to redraw the borders in Europe, but also warns against the expansionists in Asia who are trying to swallow the whole seas of Southeast Asian countries. Whether the battle lasts until 2024, 2025 or longer, even with many sacrifices, the Ukrainian army will finally reach the border of independent Ukraine on August 24, 1991. Putin’s invaders will be defeated. Viva Ukraine! – Hanoi 24/8/2023

Spain became one of the first countries in the EU to establish its own task force for regulating AI on Aug. 22, when the Council of Ministers approved a Royal Decree establishing the new agency.
Spain has become one of the first countries in the European Union to establish its own task force for regulating artificial intelligence (AI). The Spanish Agency for the Supervision of Artificial Intelligence (AESIA) should guarantee, along with the national digital strategy, that the AI development in the country will be “inclusive, sustainable, and citizen-centered.”
On Aug. 22, the Council of Ministers approved a Royal Decree, establishing the AESIA. The agency will be formed by joint efforts of the Spanish Ministry of Finance and Civil Service and the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Digital Transformation.
The agency is a part of the plan, called the National Artificial Intelligence Strategy. Spain aims to position itself as a leader in AI. According to the press release, it became the first European country to establish a special agency for AI.

The Boston Global Forum introduces an op-ed of Amandeep Singh Gill and Tshilidzi Marwala, published in the Daily Maverick (Zimbabwe). Amandeep Gill is United Nations Secretary-General’s Envoy on Technology. The Boston Global Forum honored Gill with the World Leader in AI World Society Award 2022.
Governance framework
These are the reasons why the UN Secretary-General has welcomed calls by experts and Member States for the creation of a new UN entity to support collective efforts to govern this extraordinary technology inspired by models such as the International Atomic Energy Agency, the International Civil Aviation Organisation, or the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change.
Such an entity could gather knowledge and expertise and put it at the disposal of Member States and the international community. It could support collaboration on the research of AI tools to accelerate sustainable development.
As a first step, the Secretary-General is convening a multi-stakeholder High-Level Advisory Body for Artificial Intelligence that will report back for options for global AI governance by the end of the year. This is a unique opportunity for experts from governments, private sector, civil society, the technology sector, and academia to come together to create a global scientific consensus on opportunities and risks of AI, and provide guidance to the international community on how best to govern AI in the benefit of all humanity.
