Boston Finance Accord: Pioneering AI Governance 24/7

The Boston Finance Accord for AI Governance 24/7, set to be unveiled on April 22, 2025, at Harvard University’s Loeb House during the Boston Global Forum (BGF) Conference, represents a groundbreaking framework to revolutionize governance through artificial intelligence and innovative financial systems. Building on the legacy of the AI World Society (AIWS) Initiative (2017), the Social Contract for the AI Age (2020), and the Tokyo Accord (March 28, 2025), this accord harnesses Boston’s financial and academic leadership—embodied by Fidelity Investments’ pioneering achievements and distinguished professors from Harvard Business School (HBS) and MIT Sloan—to establish secure, scalable funding mechanisms for continuous, AI-driven public service. Championed by BGF co-founders Governor Michael Dukakis, Nguyen Anh Tuan, Professor Thomas Patterson, and Professor John Quelch, alongside its Board of Directors, the accord integrates ethical AI standards, citizen empowerment, and a new AIWS Knowledge System to promote fairness, kindness, and global collaboration. It aims to redefine governance for the Age of Global Enlightenment, ensuring 24/7 access to equitable, transparent services worldwide.
