YEREVAN, JUNE 9, ARMENPRESS. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has described the future of artificial intelligence to be “extremely attractive” but warned that the ethical consequences must be taken into account and the useful and responsible development and use of AI must be ensured.

Pashinyan made the remarks at the Eurasian Congress in Russia.

PM Pashinyan said that the development of advanced digital tools and technologies is a key component for ensuring equal economic competition on the global level. The Armenian PM said that AI is developing rapidly and it could transform many areas of life.

He cited experts as saying that AI will become more individualized and integrated into the society in the future. “Overall, the future of artificial intelligence is extremely attractive, but it is necessary to take into account the ethical consequences and ensure that AI gets developed and used responsibly and usefully,” Pashinyan said.

At the same time, the Armenian PM said that people and their creative will and energy are behind every innovation, thus the development of human capital is highly important as well.

“We can endlessly argue on the Future of Eurasia topic, which is very interesting and multifaceted, but overall, the future of Eurasia will most likely be determined by the combination of economic and technological trends, and our success will depend on our ability to orientate in these challenges and opportunities,” Pashinyan added, noting that understanding of mutual interests, willingness to compromise, readiness to cooperate and engage in dialogue are the Eurasian region’s characteristic features that could become the key to solving many problems in the future.
