Boston, MA – July 4, 2025 – In a significant announcement made as part of his July 4th message, Governor Michael Dukakis, Co-Founder and Co-Chair of the Boston Global Forum (BGF), revealed a groundbreaking initiative by BGF and the AI World Society (AIWS): the issuance of Leader Digital Assets, to be known as “Leader NFTs.”
This pioneering project is designed to ensure that the invaluable legacies of esteemed global leaders are not only preserved but also made enduringly accessible to inspire present and future generations. The initiative will focus on recognizing recipients of both the prestigious World Leader for Peace and Security Award and the World Leader in AIWS Award.
Among the luminaries whose contributions will be honored through these innovative digital assets are transformative figures such as Shinzo Abe, Ban Ki-moon, and Sauli Niinistö. By leveraging blockchain technology, BGF and AIWS aim to create a permanent, accessible record of their leadership and dedication to peace, security, and human-centered development in the AI Age.
This move underscores AIWS’s commitment to harnessing cutting-edge technology responsibly to advance human dignity and progress, transforming abstract ideas into practical steps for a better world.
