Artificial Intelligence is an extremely fast-growing field of science and the world-wide competition for its development and application is highly controversial. The US and China are likely to remain leaders in the development of artificial intelligence. This was what Dr. Hiroshi Yamakawa, director of the Dwango Artificial Intelligence Laboratory in Tokyo said during his lecture at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences. According to him, after 2030, artificial intelligence will develop to such an extent that it will outweigh human intelligence in many respects, participate actively in industry and interfere even in human preferences. Dr. Hiroshi Yamakawa is one of the leading Japanese researchers in the field of artificial intelligence. His professional interests are in the field of neural networks and intelligent control. The lecture of [...]

The Agreement on Scientific Cooperation between the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences and the National Center for Scientific Research (CNRS), France, was renewed on 27 March 2018 in Paris. Academician Julian Revalski, President of BAS, and CNRS President and CEO Antoine Petit signed the document. The French National Center for Scientific Research is one of the most important research institutions in the world. To meet the great challenges of the present and the future, its scientists explore the living, the matter, the universe and the functioning of human societies. Internationally recognized for excellence, CNRS correlates equally well with both the R&D universe and the wider audience.
