ArmInfo. In order to keep up with the "train that moves at the speed of light," we have the only recipe - guided by political and economic priority, the formation of an all- Armenian broad agenda in the field of artificial intelligence, Martyn Galstyan, Chairman of the Central Bank of Armenia (CBA), stated at the forum Artificial Intelligence for Business, organized by the Ministry of Economy.
He noted that a common effort is needed here, which means that an agenda must be created by the state, business, the academic world and the public, where clear goals will be defined that will allow us to move forward.
Galstyan emphasized in this regard that in parallel with all the opportunities that artificial intelligence opens, there are numerous challenges. First of all, the head of the Central Bank pointed out that the niches of certain professions and specializations could be occupied by artificial intelligence. Speaking about the possibilities, he noted that comparing artificial intelligence with public blockchain, energy storage, robotics, genome sequencing, we can talk about the exponential development of the country. Thanks to these 5 platforms, as Galstyan said, in the next 5-10 years, according to experts, the result of the private sector could reach $200,000bln.
As an example, he named the service of unmanned taxis, where, using 3 functional platforms (energy storage, robotics and artificial intelligence), after 5 years it will be a business with a volume of $10,000bln.
Referring to the results of the meeting with David Yang (artificial intelligence expert, entrepreneur, founder of ABBYY), Martyn Galstyan noted that there is a ripe need to hold such events. "We should raise these events to the international level. Our first priority should be to make Armenia a center in the context of holding events on this topic and to attract a flow of international specialists to our country," he said. The Ministry of Economy is holding the forum with the aim of bringing together leaders, innovative thinkers and experts in the field of artificial intelligence to explore advanced strategies and solutions in the field of AI that can revolutionize business operations. Among the speakers are Paolo Pirjanian, CEO and founder of Embodied, and David Yang.
