On April 15, 2021, Governor Michael Dukakis and Mr. Nguyen Anh Tuan, co-founders of AI World Society, gave a distinguished lecture to students of AIWS Leadership Master Program at Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University ETU”LETI”.
Governor Dukakis shared his politics and leadership life and encourage young leaders to contribute toward world peace and security and to listen each other. He answered questions from students, including those about the relationship between USA and Russia.
Nguyen Anh Tuan spoke about “Becoming a global charismatic leader in the and Digital and AI Age”, his keynotes:
A leader needs a doctrine, which can bring equality of opportunities to every citizen in the world; there need to make the world smarter, quicker, more effective, and more humane.
In the Digital and AI Age, AIWS can become a doctrine for this, contributing toward the United Nations Centennial initiative, remaking the world – the Age of Global Enlightenment.
Mr. Nguyen encourages students to become leader in the AI and Digital Age; one does not need to become a prime ministers or billionaires, but rather good ethics, morals, honesty, sincerity, and innovative thinking.
“Disputed Territories and World Peace” will consist of a series of speeches and discussions by leading intellectuals from various fields of specialization. The second event will be held following the series on September last year. China’s revised Maritime Police Law, which violates international law, went into effect on February 1.
Chinese Maritime Police vessels have long harassed and surprisingly recently driven away Japanese fishing boats operating peacefully in Japan’s waters and now they are armed and permitted to use force. With recent situations where freedom and democracy are challenged, it is important that democratic countries unite and commit to global security and peace.

The Boston Global Forum building the framework for an AI International Accord. On April 28, the AI International Accord Panel with the attendance of Ambassador Stavros Lambrinidis; Gabriela Ramos, the Assistant Director-General for the Social and Human Sciences of UNESCO; and Governor Michael Dukakis, Co-founder and Chairman of the Boston Global Forum.
The EU is considering a partial AI ban that will be formally announced April 21.
The proposed ban is the first of its kind
Europe’s legislative body will likely focus on “high risk” AI systems and could fine companies up to €20m or 4% of revenue if they don’t comply.
“High risk” refers to things like mass surveillance and social credit scores that can impact safety and privacy. AI for things like manufacturing and energy would likely be good to go.
The regulations include:
A surveillance banson AI systems that track people indiscriminately
A ban on social credit scores that track individual behaviors, impact hiring and judiciary decisions, and rate trustworthiness
Bias prevention measures like human oversight in testing datasets
AI notifications that would be sent to people when interacting with AI systems
The catch: Experts say the rules are vague and leave room for loopholes.
The rules also come as AI investment in the US is hotter than ever:
The National Security Commission on Artificial Intelligence recently called for $32Bin annual nonmilitary federal spending on AI research
Already in 2021, 442 US VC deals with AI startups were wortha combined $11.65B
US companies could likely be subject to the EU’s new rules. Though the draft could change come April 21, we have a feeling few companies will be big fans.
2021 has marked a renewal of the transatlantic relationship, with greater collaboration and alignment called on by both sides of the Atlantic on digital trade, artificial intelligence (AI) and cybersecurity. EU Ambassador to the US Stavros Lambrinidis made it clear that Europe’s leadership in digital needs to build on international cooperation.
A transatlantic partnership, he stressed, is how Europe can level the playing field, by incentivising domestic innovation, and advancing markets vis-à-vis competitors.
“Europe wants to be a player in digital, and to run as fast as anyone else. This is only possible with extremely close EU-US cooperation.”
