July 4, 2026 — America at 250: A New Beacon for Humanity in the AI Age
2026-07-04
Dear Friends of the Boston Global Forum,
On this historic day — July 4, 2026, the 250th Anniversary of American Independence — the Boston Global Forum is honored to share a special collection of publications and initiatives dedicated to shaping a future where Artificial Intelligence serves humanity.
Two hundred and fifty years ago, the ideals of freedom, human dignity, and self-government inspired a new chapter of history. Today, as humanity enters the Age of Artificial Intelligence, these enduring values must once again guide a new frontier.
On this occasion, BGF is pleased to officially release The July 4, 2026 Collection: “A New Beacon for Humanity in the Age of Artificial Intelligence” — the publications below. These publications also mark the launch of the Beacon Series, a weekly column by Nguyen Anh Tuan exploring the ideas, values, and architectures needed to shape a trustworthy and humane AI Age:

The Boston Declaration: On the Primacy of the Human Person in the Age of Artificial Intelligence

A landmark declaration initiated by Governor Michael S. Dukakis and Nguyen Anh Tuan, affirming that: “Artificial Intelligence may surpass human intelligence in many domains. It must never surpass the primacy of the human person.”

As we celebrate America at 250, we look not only to the achievements of the past, but also to the responsibilities of the future. The AI Age presents humanity with a defining choice:
