Mehriban Aliyeva: The role of artificial intelligence in ensuring the security of states is increasing and already occupies a central place

Artificial intelligence is no longer the future, but the main development factor of today. At the same time, the role of artificial intelligence in ensuring the security of states is increasing and already occupies a central place. It is no secret that the development of artificial intelligence in the world’s leading states is proceeding faster than expected forecasts, and this, in turn, creates both new opportunities and new threats.

elchi reports that First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva said this on June 29 at the first meeting of the Digital Development Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan.

The First Vice-President emphasized that we must be prepared for new challenges, especially the risks that exist and are emerging in the field of cybersecurity and information security:

“Our activities require the joint, active, and efficient work of all state institutions. Our goal is to turn Azerbaijan into one of the leading states in the region in the fields of digital development and artificial intelligence. We must study foreign and international experience and use successful models. However, all decisions must be made based on factors that meet the national interests and needs of Azerbaijan.”
