ArmInfo.  The global economy is entering a new phase based on artificial intelligence (AI) systems, in which small countries can gain a strategic advantage if they set  the right priorities and effectively seize the moment. This was  stated by Armenian Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkhitar  Hayrapetyan, speaking at the TEDx forum - "Vision of the Future."

In this context, he highlighted three key resources that will be  crucial for small countries: energy, high- performance computing  power, and human capital.

The minister emphasized that in the AI era, Armenia's success depends  on the synchronous and consistent development of these three  resources. According to him, with a sound strategy, the country can  strengthen its position in the global technological environment and  become a competitive player in the emerging new economic reality.

The TEDx "Vision of the Future" forum was held on April 12 in  Yerevan. The event's main goal was to bring together experts and  active participants from various fields, inspire them to create new  ideas and solutions, and stimulate dialogue on technological, social,  and cultural change. The forum brought together entrepreneurs, tech  industry representatives, startup founders, company executives, and  public figures, who shared their views on the development of society,  business, and innovation. Speakers included Petros Petoyan, head of  Yerevan's Kentron district; Ishkhan Margaryan, co-founder of DataArt;  Hayk Simonyan, founder and CEO of Doping Creative Advertising; and  Irina Seynalyan, board member of Armenian Card.
