Boston, MA – July 4, 2025
Happy July 4th, 2025.
Today, as we celebrate Independence Day in the United States, we are reminded of our enduring responsibility to use our freedoms to build a better world.
From the United States of America, the Boston Global Forum (BGF) and the AI World Society (AIWS) are dedicated to contributing to a better, safer, and more just world through the responsible use of artificial intelligence.
Since 2017, AIWS has pioneered initiatives in AI Politics, Economics, Society, Education, Innovation, Healthcare, and Culture, establishing a Social Contract for the AI Age. We have advanced the AIWS-G7 Summit Initiative, AIWS Government 24/7, the Boston Finance Accord for AI Governance 24/7, AIWS Esteemed Digital Assets, AIWS Music for Humanity, and the AIWS Film Park.
This year, BGF proudly celebrates the 10th Anniversary of the World Leader for Peace and Security Award (2015-2025). To honor this milestone, we are producing narrative films about recipients of the World Leader for Peace and Security Award and the World Leader in AIWS Award. This meaningful project, led by Nguyen Anh Tuan, Co-Founder, Co-Chair, and CEO of BGF, will bring to life the stories of the leaders who have shaped a more peaceful, democratic, and enlightened world.
Additionally, BGF and AIWS will issue Leader Digital Assets as “Leader NFTs”, ensuring that the legacies of these esteemed leaders are preserved and accessible to inspire current and future generations.
These initiatives are not abstract ideas—they are practical steps toward ensuring that AI serves humanity, upholds democratic values, and strengthens peace and security globally.
On this July 4th, I call upon every individual, everywhere, to join us at BGF and AIWS in making AIWS a reality. Together, we can ensure that the promise of AI is realized as a force for good, advancing human dignity and progress for all.
Let us work together to build a better world in the AI Age.
Warm regards,
Governor Michael Dukakis
Co-Founder and Co-Chair, Boston Global Forum
Former Governor of Massachusetts
