Serious questions that will “imperceptibly” but inevitably face Armenia – 2024-02-19 05:26:35

Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan recently hosted David Yan, a physicist working in the field of artificial intelligence development, discussing with him the global trends and prospects in the field of artificial intelligence, and the opportunities for the development of the field in Armenia. Davit Yan then announced that he had made an offer to Pashinyan to build an artificial intelligence city in Armenia.

The meeting and the topic did not receive wide attention in Armenia. The lack of public attention is in some sense understandable, because the modern society is even more oriented by the “landmarks” of the social network scene. However, from the point of view of strategic issues of statehood development and security, we are dealing with a question of fundamental importance.

These days, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is participating in the Munich Security Conference, where a significant number of key international players meet annually and discuss the agenda of global development and security issues, and set certain guidelines. in the modern world, artificial intelligence is becoming a fundamental component of the security system, and although these processes are not widely visible for now, they have probably been on the agenda for the world elites for a long time, according to this, in the context and footnote of the world order struggle.

Moreover, the fact that Nikol Pashinyan had a discussion on the sector before the Munich conference is remarkable. It is difficult to say whether there was a certain connection here, a direct cause-and-effect relationship, or is it just a chronological combination, however, it is beyond doubt that Armenia cannot stay away from the sphere that has become a fundamental component of the global security agenda, around which perhaps it is already unfolding. world order struggle.

The main target of the struggle of power centers fighting for their place, role, and influence in the international security system will be maximum control and influence over the process of artificial intelligence. Here, the most serious value system and ideological challenges await Armenia and the orientations and decisions to be made in relation to them: a challenge or an opportunity to obtain a profitable and safe ratio of the “dilemma”.
