Pioneering the AI World Society Model: Publication of “Remaking the World – Toward an Age of Global Enlightenment”

Date: June 2021
In June 2021, the Boston Global Forum (BGF) and the United Nations Academic Impact (UNAI) co-published the book “Remaking the World – Toward an Age of Global Enlightenment”, marking a pivotal moment in the history of artificial intelligence. Edited by Nguyen Anh Tuan, this work introduced the AI World Society (AIWS) model, a pioneering initiative launched by BGF in 2017. The book presents a visionary framework for integrating AI into politics, economics, governance, education, healthcare, innovation, technology, and culture, featuring contributions, include Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen, Massachusetts Governor Michael Dukakis, UNAI’s Founding and First Chief Ramu Damodaran, Harvard’s Professor Joseph Nye, MIT’s Professor Alex Pentland, Internet pioneer Vint Cerf, and UCLA’s Professor Judea Pearl.

This collaborative effort outlined bold concepts and solutions—such as ethical AI governance, global digital inclusion, and cultural innovation—that have begun to materialize.
