Lukashenko calls for tighter cooperation in AI in EAEU
ASTANA, 28 May (BelTA) – Tighter cooperation in the field of artificial intelligence within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union is necessary. Belarus President Aleksandr Lukashenko made the statement during the 5th Eurasian Economic Forum in Astana, Kazakhstan on 28 May, BelTA has learned.
The president remarked that calculations indicate that no country, even a country with a well-developed engineering school and capable personnel, can take care of the full cycle of creation, education, and commercial deployment of modern artificial intelligence models on its own. “This is why we need tighter cooperation within the framework of the Eurasian Economic Union in this field,” the Belarusian leader is convinced.
Aleksandr Lukashenko pointed out that the world’s leading players are practically fighting for control over the field of computer technologies. “We should not fall behind or become dependent on the ‘good will’ of the centers of power that are trying to enforce their own rules of the game,” he stated.
The head of state believes that it is at this juncture that the strategic role of the Eurasian Economic Union as a platform for working out a new type of technological cooperation is manifested. “The foundation for digital interaction in the Eurasian Economic Union has already been laid. Legal and technological tools have been formed for transition from disjointed national initiatives towards a unified Eurasian digital ecosystem,” Aleksandr Lukashenko stressed.
Among such tools the president mentioned the formation of the common Eurasian space of industrial data and consumer data: “It is necessary for safely sharing information for training artificial intelligence taking into account peculiarities of every member state.”
The Belarusian leader mentioned the creation of joint industry-specific digital platforms for the real sector as another tool for transition to the unified Eurasian digital ecosystem. “By leveraging it, enterprises of the EAEU states will be able to get ready-made software solutions for a broad spectrum of tasks, including demand forecasting and the optimization of delivery chains. It is important that those will be our common R&D products, which will be safe to use and independent from external factors,” he stated.
The development of common approaches to the certification of solutions in the field of artificial intelligence was another tool identified by Aleksandr Lukashenko.
“I am convinced that by merging the engineering potential, manufacturing capabilities, and intellectual resources, we will be able not to simply adapt to challenges of the digital age but to work out the rules, thus securing technological development and a better quality of life for our nations,” the head of state concluded.
