Dear Friends, Colleagues, and Partners in Leadership,
As the United States approaches its 250th anniversary, we stand at a defining moment—one not only for America, but for the entire world. History has shown that when the United States rises to moments of transformation with vision, courage, and generosity, its influence extends far beyond its borders. Today, as we enter the AI Age, the world again looks to America for leadership grounded in human values and global responsibility.
At the heart of America at 250 – “A Beacon for the AI Age” is a singular, transformative program: the realization of AIWS Government 24/7 for the United States.
AIWS Government 24/7 envisions a new architecture of democratic service—one where trusted AI, transparent digital systems, and human-centered leadership come together to create a government that is ethical, responsive, and continuously available. This model empowers citizens, strengthens democratic institutions, enhances accountability, and ensures that technology remains firmly aligned with human dignity and the public good. It reduces the time and cost of decision-making, minimizes unnecessary conflict, and enables society to operate with optimal resources—faster, smarter, more wisely, and with compassion.
Because the United States is a global leader, the development of this model is not for America alone. The way America governs in the AI Age will shape the future of democratic societies worldwide. America at 250 therefore becomes a platform not only for national renewal, but for global progress and shared hope.
Professor Alex Pentland, member of the BGF Board of Directors, together with his colleagues, contributes essential solutions to America at 250 through pioneering platforms such as Deliberation.io (https://deliberation.io/#) and Loyal Agents (https://loyalagents.org/#why-it-matters). Their innovations strengthen collective wisdom, trusted governance, and citizen-centered AI systems.
We call upon all who believe in a brighter digital future—innovators, policymakers, scholars, philanthropists, and international partners—to join in building a governance model that can guide the world toward peace, justice, creativity, and enlightened leadership.
I warmly welcome those who share this vision. Together, we can help America at 250 become a true beacon for the AI Age—a turning point where technology uplifts humanity, democracy is renewed, and the next chapter of global civilization is shaped with wisdom and compassion.
With respect and hope,
Nguyen Anh Tuan
