Cambridge, MA – November 3, 2025
At a historic gathering at the Harvard Faculty Club, the Boston Global Forum (BGF) officially launched the book “The AI World Society: 30 Years of U.S.–Vietnam Partnership, from Nha Trang to Boston (1995–2025)”, co-authored by Professor Thomas Patterson of Harvard Kennedy School and Nguyen Anh Tuan, CEO of the Boston Global Forum and Director of the Michael Dukakis Institute.

The launch took place during the World Leader Spirit Symposium, where BGF honored Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, Founder of the Art of Living Foundation, with the 2025 World Leader for Peace and Security Award for his extraordinary global leadership in promoting compassion and peace.

Speakers included Professor Thomas Patterson and Nguyen Anh Tuan, who reflected on the enduring friendship and innovation shared between the United States and Vietnam.
Bui Thi Thu Hang, Director of Tri Thuc Publishing House, which released the book, highlighted it as “a bridge of knowledge, humanity, and partnership between two nations.”
Ramu Damodaran, former Chief of the United Nations Academic Impact, praised Nguyen Anh Tuan’s vision: “He has built bridges of intellect and compassion, shaping a new moral foundation for the AI Age.”

The event featured a display of photographs of Governor Michael Dukakis, Gurudev Sri Sri Ravi Shankar, and the book, symbolizing unity across leadership, spirituality, and intellect.

The publication marks a milestone in U.S.–Vietnam relations and in the global development of the AI World Society (AIWS) — an ethical framework guiding the integration of AI, democracy, and humanity for a better future.
