SUMMARY:The Wilson Center and the Indo-Pacific Program\, a partner of BGF: Unleashing the Power of US-Japan Economic Security Cooperation
DESCRIPTION:Shared concerns about the systemic challenges posed by the People’s Republic of China to global growth has led to greater coordination between the United States and Japan\, a development which was highlighted by Prime Minister Kishida’s visit to Washington\, DC in April 2024. Promoting economic security has emerged as a key interest in the US-Japan alliance\, most notably to coordinate on the advancement of the critical technologies. At the same time\, both the United States and Tokyo are invested in securing the competitiveness of the industries of the future within their own borders. \nJoin us to discuss the opportunities as well as challenges ahead in derisking from the PRC amid greater political headwinds in both capitals\, efforts to develop collective action against economic coercion\, and the challenge of ensuring growth in an era of demographic decline and emerging technologies. \nMore details about this event can be found at the Wilson Center’s website.

SUMMARY:Boston Global Forum at the Riga Conference 2023: How to Govern AI in the Age of Global Tension?
DESCRIPTION:Cooperation between LATO\, organizer of Riga Conference 2023 and the Boston Global Forum: How to Govern AI in the Age of Global Tension? \nIn the 21st century\, global tensions have become more complex and unpredictable due to rapid technological change. This shift has redefined the arenas of contemporary conflict and warfare\, encompassing both traditional domains and the digital realm of cyberspace. Participation in conflicts is no longer limited to government; entities possessing the capability to develop\, possess\, and deploy technology—such as tech giants and hacker groups—can now exert significant influence. In this context\, there is an increasing global focus among governments and experts on the potential impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) on global tensions. AI technologies are currently being researched on a global scale\, with the aim of autonomizing weapons and weaponizing disruptive technologies such as 3D printing\, drones\, and robots. These advances have the potential to substantially reduce the cost of military operations and enhance targeting precision. How can AI be governed? What strategies will help to establish a global AI governance framework? Is a social contract regarding AI possible in the age of global tension? \nDavid Bray\, Distinguished Fellow at the Stimson Center \nCameron Kerry\, Former Acting Secretary of Commerce of the US \nThomas Patterson\, Harvard Kennedy School Professor\, Co-Founder of BGF \nCaroline Louveaux\, Chief Privacy Officer\, MasterCard \nNguyen Anh Tuan\, Co-Founder and CEO of BGF \n  \nModerator: Prof. Žaneta Ozoliņa\, Vice-Chairwoman of the Latvian Transatlantic Organisation \n  \nTime: 11:00 am – 12:00 pm\, EDT\, Oct 19\, 2023 \nVenue: The National Library of Latvia and online

SUMMARY:US-EU-Japan-India: Pillars for World Peace at the Riga Conference 2022
DESCRIPTION:14:30 – 15:30 Riga time (GMT+3)\, Oct 22\, 2022 \nVenue: Autumn Stage\, The National Library of Latvia \nEXPLORING MULTILATERALISM FOR WORLD PEACE AND SECURITY: CONTRIBUTIONS OF US – INDIA – JAPAN-EU \nThis online discussion is organised in cooperation with the Global Boston Forum. \nThe role and relevance of multilateralism has been challenged several times during the last decade. Russia’s aggression in Ukraine has undermined trust in international organisations and international rules and norms at large. International society calls for immediate actions in order to bring the world back on the peace and security track\, which was observed and managed by multilateral arrangements. Is there any particular role of multilateral frameworks launched by the world’s leading actors?
