Boston Global Forum, Boston, February 6, 2023
The Boston Global Forum (BGF) and the Global Alliance for Digital Governance (GADG) are dedicated to proactively addressing the risks and challenges posed by AI in our daily lives. As leading organizations in technology and academia based in Boston, Massachusetts, we understand the significance of shaping the responsible growth and implementation of AI, including AI Assistants like ChatGPT.
Building on the 7-layer model of AIWS and Social Contract for the AI Age proposed by BGF in the AIWS – G7 Summit Initiative of 2019, we are now collaborating closely with AI Assistants to manage and minimize their potential risks. Through our collaboration with the United Nations Centennial Initiative and the launch concepts of the Age of Global Enlightenment in 2020, we aim to utilize our resources to create responsible AI policies and regulations through the AI International Accord. BGF and GADG are determined to play a key role in shaping a responsible and equitable future for AI.
GADG will organize a series of high-level dialogues about ChatGPT and AI Assistants and will engage with governments of the US, Europe, Japan, India, South Korea, Canada, Australia, and the United Nations Global Digital Compact. We will encourage AIWS city innovators to contribute to and practice GADG’s recommendations. BGF will also contribute to the upcoming Summit of the Future of the United Nations scheduled for September 2024.

The book “AI in the Age of Global Enlightenment” is a captivating story that delves into the integration of artificial intelligence into our society. The fast pace of technological advancements and the increasing impact of AI on our daily lives make it imperative to contemplate the ethical and societal ramifications of this evolving field.
The author, Michelle Nguyen, draws on ideas and concepts from the book “Remaking the World – Toward an Age of Global Enlightenment,” edited by Nguyen Anh Tuan, CEO of the Boston Global Forum (BGF) and published by BGF and United Nations Academic Impact in July 2021. The key character in the book is AI Xachari, a robot with the capability to self-learn, feel, and act like humans while yearning to experience human happiness. With a goal to serve humankind’s happiness, AI Xachari meets the scientist who created the flawed AI, Balaam. The two discuss the Social Contract for the AI Age, aimed at ensuring the transparency of AI algorithms and holding AI creators accountable for their systemic impact. The scientist then upgrades Balaam, incorporating the Cyber Security Mesh Architecture and other advanced technologies, turning it into a cybersecurity expert for the AI Government.
This book offers a thought-provoking and imaginative portrayal of the relationship between AI and society, proposing a future where both can coexist in harmony and balance. Through AI Xachari and the scientist, the book demonstrates how we can utilize advanced technologies to create a better world, guided by principles of transparency, accountability, and the ethics outlined in the Social Contract for the AI Age.
The book launch event on February 25, 2023, featuring Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan as the keynote speaker, is eagerly awaited. It provides readers with an opportunity to gain deeper insights into the book’s themes and engage in a dialogue about the future of AI and its role in fostering the Age of Global Enlightenment.

On January 27, 2023, leaders of the Boston Global Forum (BGF) gathered to prepare events to celebrate the 90th birthday of Governor Michael Dukakis (November 3, 1933), the co-founder and chairman of the BGF. As we honor Governor Dukakis’s contributions to public service and leadership, we also recognize the opportunity to take meaningful action to create an Age of Global Enlightenment.
The Age of Global Enlightenment is a vision for a more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable future, where economic growth and development serve the needs of all people. At its core, it is based on the principle that economic prosperity should be shared and that economic systems should be designed to promote the well-being of all citizens.
One important aspect of the Age of Global Enlightenment is the responsible and ethical use of artificial intelligence (AI). The BGF, under Governor Dukakis’s leadership, has been at the forefront of efforts to shape the responsible and ethical use of AI. The BGF has called for the creation of an AI World Society (AIWS), which will bring together governments, the private sector, civil society, and other stakeholders to develop global standards and best practices for the responsible use of AI.
Another important aspect of the Age of Global Enlightenment is the promotion of green growth and sustainable development. The BGF has recognized the urgent need to transition to a low-carbon economy and to develop renewable energy sources. It also stresses the importance of preserving and protecting the natural environment, and of promoting sustainable agricultural and fisheries practices.
The Age of Global Enlightenment also seeks to promote greater economic inclusion, particularly for marginalized groups such as women, youth, and persons with disabilities. The BGF has called for the promotion of equal opportunities and the elimination of discrimination in the workplace. It also calls for the development of policies and programs to support the economic empowerment of marginalized groups.
As we celebrate Governor Dukakis’s 90th birthday, let us honor his legacy by taking meaningful action to create an Age of Global Enlightenment. We call on governments, the private sector, civil society, and other stakeholders to work together to create a more inclusive, sustainable, and equitable future for all.
In the words of Governor Dukakis, “We must work together to build a world in which all people can live in peace, dignity, and security, a world where economic growth and development serve the needs of all people, not just the privileged few.”
