The OECD Global Strategy Group, which brings together Undersecretaries, Secretaries-General and other senior officials each year, has the task of facilitating cooperation between Member States. It prepares the work of the OECD Annual Ministerial Meeting, but adopts a more long-term vision.
Topics covered by the Commission include: digital transformation, the future of the labor market and trade in a digitized world, policy planning and international cooperation in a post-pandemic global economic system, and the design and implementation of a sustainable and comprehensive recovery plan.

The Community Innovation Economy is a concept, that innovation and entrepreneurship need to be customized for the circumstances of each community, as well as an ecosystem that supports every citizen so they can innovate.
The Community Innovation Economy (CIE) was conceived by MIT Professor Alex Pentland and Nguyen Anh Tuan, CEO of Boston Global Forum.
AIWS seeks to create an AIWS Ecosystem that empowers citizens to create value for themselves, for others, and for society through the application of artificial intelligence, digital, blockchain, and data science technologies. It is a sharing ecosystem that rewards both the creators and users of these technologies, as well as an ecosystem that encourages everyone to innovate. It breaks down the hierarchies that traditionally have created unequal power relationships, paving the way to a sharing society. It recognizes the value of every citizen, as well as every citizen’s creative potential. It seeks to promote citizens’ economic wellbeing while also promoting ethical and community values. It aims for nothing less than the creation of a more trusting, prosperous, and compassionate world where people can live more fulfilling lives, materially and ethically.
The AIWS Value System
Remaking the world as a more humane, peaceful, and secure place rests on promoting the values that will foster that world. To that end, AIWS has created the AIWS Value System as a means of guiding and encouraging individuals to contribute to a changing world.
The AIWS Value System focuses on creative or innovative acts that foster a sharing society.
The AIWS Ecosystem is a sample of the Community Innovation Economy.

Digital transformation is rapidly altering the panorama for fundamental rights around the world. Digital technologies and artificial intelligence (AI) create new opportunities for the enjoyment of human rights, as well as new threats to their protection. They also bring about new concepts of rights and obligations, directly arising from the relationship between citizens and technology. Governing this transformation, with the protection of fundamental rights as a central objective, requires a new approach to public policy, in line with the systemic changes occurring in society, the economy and international relations. While there have been attempts to articulate principles for an approach to the governance of digital societies based on the protection of fundamental rights, the international community has yet failed to define and adopt a common framework. With the invaluable support of NovaWorld Phan Thiet / Phan Thiet MICE Competition and partnership of the Boston Global Forum (BGF), Club de Madrid seek to contribute to global consensus-building around a rights-based agenda for the governance of digital societies. This initiative will feed into the work of the AI World Society (AIWS.net), an innovation network created by BGF to put forward new principles for governance in the age of AI. In partnership with UN Academic Impact, BGF and the AI World Society have launched the UN Centennial Initiative, UN100: Remaking the World – Toward an Age of Enlightenment, for which they will continue to develop and promote models for a Social Contract for the AI Age and an AI International Accord, using the AIWS City as a sandbox to put their ideas into practice.
