Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, CEO of the Boston Global Forum, will speak at the International Scientific Conference Preventing and Handling Online Fake News – Theory and Practice, chaired by Vietnam Ministry of Public Security’s Theorical Council, March 2, 2023, in Vietnam.
He will present the topic Ethics Code of Conduct for Cyber Peace and Security and Combating Disinformation in the Age of Global Enlightenment.
Disinformation and misinformation are major challenges facing society today, and solving them is essential to building a trusted information society based on accurate and reliable information. Disinformation and misinformation can have serious consequences, including spreading false ideas, undermining public trust in institutions and experts, and even influencing elections and other important decisions.
AIWS – the Age of Global Enlightenment, is a vision for a future in which humanity uses science and technology to create a better world for all. In this vision, disinformation and misinformation are seen as serious obstacles to progress that need to be addressed.
Solving these issues will require a multi-disciplinary approach that brings together experts from the fields of technology, media, education, and policy. This will involve developing better algorithms and tools for detecting and removing false information, educating people about how to identify credible sources and recognize false information, and strengthening institutions that promote accurate and reliable information.
Ultimately, the goal of combating disinformation and misinformation is to build a society that is based on truth, trust, and mutual understanding. By working together to solve these issues, we can create a future that is more enlightened, more connected, and more just for all people.
Combating disinformation and misinformation is a complex issue that requires a multi-pronged approach. Here are 7 solutions that can help address the problem:
Media literacy education: educate and use the Ethics Code of Conduct for Cyber Peace and Security, contributed by Boston Global Forum 2015
Fact-checking
AIWS-tech solutions
Collaboration between governments, media companies, and tech firms
Transparency in political advertising
Regulation
Support for independent journalism

Boston, February 9, 2023
Dear Leaders, Artists, and Writers,
As Co-Chairs of the Boston Global Forum’s contribution to the United Nations Centennial, we are writing to you with a mission to create a new era of global enlightenment in the run-up to the 100th anniversary of the United Nations in 2045. This is a unique opportunity for us to come together and make a lasting impact on the world in all aspects of human possibility and achievement.
One of our immediate initiatives, “Every Person an Innovator, Creator,” aims to empower individuals across the globe to unleash their full potential as creative agents of change. We strongly believe we are moving towards an “Artificial Intelligence World Society” (AIWS) where AI assistants can address so many of the preoccupations of our everyday lives, allowing people-led innovation and creativity to transform our world and drive progress in every sphere of society in a true liberation of human flourishing and enlightenment. With the ability to tackle some of the world’s most pressing challenges and create new opportunities for all, this initiative has the potential to bring unity to our increasingly fragmented planet and its people.
Our objective is to create global excitement and opportunities for imagining the world of 2045, with its promises and obstacles, its hopes and hindrances. That’s why we are reaching out to you, as thinkers, artists, and writers who are, above all, creators. Through your work, platform, or voice, you have the power to inspire and motivate others to embrace their own creativity and innovation. Your ability to think differently and challenge the status quo can play a crucial role in shaping our world, our future, and ourselves. We hope you will join us as a leader in building the Age of Global Enlightenment, as part of a movement that will shape the future of our world.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Michael Dukakis and Ramu Damodaran

On February 8, 2023, Boston Global Forum and Global Alliance for Digital Governance announced concept notes for a Regulation Framework for ChatGPT and AI Assistants:
- Transparency: AI Assistants and ChatGPT should be transparent in their operations and decision-making processes, with the ability for individuals to understand and review the data and algorithms used.
- Accountability: There should be clear lines of responsibility and accountability for the actions and decisions made by AI Assistants and ChatGPT, and mechanisms for individuals to seek redress if they are affected by adverse outcomes.
- Privacy: AI Assistants and ChatGPT must protect the privacy of individuals and their data, and not misuse or disclose personal information without consent. This is elaborated further in the Social Contract for the AI Age.
- Bias and Discrimination: AI Assistants and ChatGPT should be designed and operated in a way that minimizes the potential for bias and discrimination, and actively works to eliminate it.
- Security: AI Assistants and ChatGPT must be designed with robust security measures to protect against hacking and other forms of cybercrime or loopholes.
- Ethical Use: AI Assistants and ChatGPT should operate in accordance with ethical principles. It is introduced in the 7-layer model of AI World Society (AIWS).
- Continuous Improvement: Regulations and laws for AI Assistants and ChatGPT should be flexible and adaptable, allowing for ongoing refinement and improvement in response to new developments and emerging flashpoints.
- International Cooperation: Given the global nature of AI technology, there should be international cooperation and coordination on regulations and laws for AI Assistants and ChatGPT, to ensure consistent standards and practices across borders with the Social Contract for the AI Age.
- Public Engagement: Regulations and laws for AI Assistants and ChatGPT should involve active public engagement and consultation, to ensure that the perspectives and needs of individuals and society are taken into account.
- Independent Oversight: There should be independent oversight bodies, such as regulatory agencies or watchdog groups, to monitor the deployment and use of AI Assistants and ChatGPT, and ensure compliance with regulations, laws, and principles. The Global Alliance for Digital Governance (GADG) is recommended as a watchdog institution.
