The Boston Plurality Summit was founded on Easter Day, April 20, 2025, at Harvard University, and announced on April 22, 2025, during the Boston Global Forum (BGF) Conference at Harvard University Loeb House, honoring Audrey Tang with the World Leader in AIWS Award.
Co-founded by distinguished leaders—Governor Michael Dukakis, Audrey Tang, Élisabeth Moreno, Yasuhide Nakayama, and Nguyen Anh Tuan—the Summit convenes top government officials, finance executives, and innovators to deliver actionable solutions in Finance, AI Politics, and Society. Hosted by BGF, a platform renowned for its World Leader for Peace and Security Award and World Leader in AIWS Award recipients, the Summit leverages pioneering initiatives like AIWS and AIWS Government 24/7.
Set to launch in Q4 2025, the Summit will pilot outcomes in AIWS Cities (e.g., Boston, Washington DC, Tokyo, Paris, London), including an AI-driven democratic framework for G7/G20 adoption and the Boston Ethics Finance Protocol (BEFP) for ethical AI in finance. It will also introduce the AIWS Ethical Finance Leadership Award to honor finance leaders championing ethical AI by 2025.
Rooted in Boston—the world’s intellectual and innovation hub, home to Harvard, MIT, and more—the Summit builds on the legacies of Dukakis’s “Massachusetts Miracle,” Tang’s digital democracy in Taiwan, and Tuan’s innovations in Vietnam. It stands out with its pluralistic, cross-sectoral model, uniting diverse voices while driving cutting-edge AI governance solutions.
